How does it Work?

Trigger points are hyperirritable and sensitive spots found in taut bands in our muscles. They are responsible for producing pain locally as well as referred pain to a distant spot. These are usually associated with chronic musculoskeletal disorders. Many people confuse dry needling with acupuncture. The fact is that both these treatment techniques, though seems similar, have different concepts. Acupuncture works for the purpose of altering the flow of energy in the body by working on fixed spots in the body, whereas dry needling focuses on easing the trigger points found in our muscles after a thorough examination.
