Dry Needling is a therapeutic technique used by healthcare providers in Vancouver to relieve muscular pain and improve function. During a Dry Needling session, thin needles are inserted into trigger points within muscles, tendons, ligaments, or near nerves to stimulate a healing response. Unlike acupuncture, which is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine and focuses on restoring the flow of energy, Dry Needling targets specific anatomical structures to alleviate pain and enhance mobility. This treatment is particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing chronic pain, muscle tension, or limited range of motion due to various conditions such as sports injuries, repetitive strain, or postural issues. By targeting trigger points, Dry Needling can help release muscle knots, reduce inflammation, and promote blood flow to the affected areas. Patients seeking non-pharmacological pain relief or complementary therapy options often find Dry Needling to be a valuable addition to their treatment plan.
