Dry Needling

At Wellspring Integrative Medicine, our dry needling therapy offers a targeted approach to relieve muscle tension, reduce pain, and improve mobility. This innovative technique is a valuable tool for treating musculoskeletal conditions and enhancing your overall physical performance.

What Is Dry Needling?

Dry needling is a modern therapeutic practice that involves inserting thin, sterile needles into specific trigger points within the muscles. These trigger points are areas of tightness or knots that can cause pain, restricted movement, and discomfort. By stimulating these points, dry needling promotes muscle relaxation, enhances blood flow, and supports the body’s natural healing processes.
