Dry Needling in Boronia

What is Dry Needling?

Dry needling is a technique used by chiropractors to treat muscular pain and dysfunction. It involves inserting fine needles into specific trigger points in the muscles. These trigger points, often referred to as “muscle knots,” can cause pain, restrict movement, and contribute to discomfort.

Unlike acupuncture, which is based on traditional Chinese medicine, dry needling focuses on the neuromuscular system and is used to target specific problem areas within the muscle tissues. This approach helps to release tight muscles, improve blood flow, and promote natural healing.

  1. Assess Your Condition: Conduct a thorough evaluation to identify the areas that require treatment.

  2. Target Trigger Points: Insert fine needles into specific muscle knots or trigger points.

  3. Stimulate Healing: Use the needles to stimulate a healing response in the affected muscles.
