What is Trigger Point Acupuncture?
Dry needling and trigger point acupuncture are techniques used to relieve muscle pain and improve function. These methods involve inserting thin, sterile needles directly into specific areas of muscle tightness known as trigger points.
Trigger points are hyper-irritable spots in muscle tissue that can cause pain and discomfort, often referred to as "muscle knots." By targeting these points, dry needling and trigger point acupuncture help release the tension, reduce pain, and improve mobility.
The needles used in these treatments are very fine and are inserted into the trigger points to create a local twitch response. This response helps to break the cycle of pain and muscle spasm, promoting the body’s natural healing processes. These techniques are effective for treating a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, including chronic pain, sports injuries, and tension headaches.
