Dry Needling in Nashville, TN
Dry Needling
Dry needling is a therapeutic technique to treat muscle pain and tension. It involves inserting thin, solid needles (similar to acupuncture needles) into specific trigger points in muscles, fascia, or connective tissue. Dry needling aims to alleviate pain, reduce muscle stiffness, and improve the range of motion in the affected area. It may also help improve neuromuscular function by disrupting the dysfunctional neural pathways associated with pain and muscle tightness.
