What is Functional Dry Needling?
Functional Dry Needling is an advanced technique performed by trained physical therapists to relieve muscle pain and improve function. Unlike acupuncture, dry needling targets specific areas like trigger points and tight muscle bands by inserting thin, sterile needles into the affected tissue. This creates tiny micro-lesions that stimulate the body’s natural healing response, promoting muscle relaxation and reducing pain.
Dry needling is especially effective for treating muscle spasms, chronic tension, and soft tissue injuries that have not responded to other therapies. When combined with exercises and manual therapy, it can accelerate recovery, improve range of motion, and help you get back to your daily activities or sports with less discomfort.
