Trigger Point Dry Needling
Trigger Point Dry Needling (TDN) is a treatment used to relax tight muscles and reduce pain.
Muscle tightness and spasms often happen after an injury or with wear and tear over time.
Why Muscle Tightness Matters
Tight muscles can press on nearby nerves. This can lead to:
- Pain
- Stiffness
- Less movement
When nerves are irritated, your body may tighten even more muscles to protect the area. This can make the problem worse.
Over time, this may lead to conditions like:
- Tendonitis
- Join pain
- Ongoing (chronic) pain
- Limited movement
How Dry Needling Works
During treatment:
- A very thin needle is placed into tight muscle areas called “trigger points”
- These spots are often the source of pain
- Releasing them helps the muscle relax
Most people are surprised that the treatment is very comfortable and works quickly.
