Dry needling (DN) is a skilled technique performed by a trained clinician using a single-use, single-insertion, sterile filiform needle (8x smaller than your typical hypodermic needle used for shots). This needle is used to penetrate the skin or underlying tissue to effect change in body conditions, pain, movement, impairment and disability. DN has been shown to provide extremely positive outcomes for treating pain and repairing damaged tissue at the site in an effort to reboot the healing process within that area and provide healing to the injury site. Most patients feel their injury site is less painful after just one treatment.
