What Is Dry Needling?
Dry needling is a precise therapy where thin, sterile needles target muscular trigger points, easing neuromuscular pain and improving movement. This technique focuses on releasing tension and knots within the muscles to provide relief and enhance muscle relaxation. Typically, the procedure is comfortable and offers a relaxing experience to patients.
Dry needling is a flexible treatment option, well-suited for a variety of conditions, including but not limited to:
Fibromyalgia
Migraine and Tension-Type Headaches
Myofascial Pain Syndrome
Two Types of Dry Needling
Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS)
Dr. Gordon places the needle directly into the trigger point for immediate release and pain relief.
Superficial Dry Needling (SDN)
Dr. Gordon inserts the needle superficially into the skin, right above the trigger point. This gentle, surface-level needling activates pain relief pathways in the nervous system and triggers the reflex analgesic mechanisms of the brain or spinal cord.
