What Is Dry Needling?
Dry needling is a proven treatment method that involves inserting small sterile needles into areas of the muscles that are tight and painful from injury or overuse. This can help the muscles “reset” to their original state, before the pain or injury.
Dry needling helps any athlete who has muscle tightness, pain, or injury. With this treatment, you can rapidly recover from your latest training session, injury, or even help your muscles be at their best for your next competition. It gets you back to your sport quickly and efficiently when used as part of your treatment plan.

How Does Dry Needling Help Me Heal Faster From An Injury?
When you train, practice, and play you build a lot of muscle tension from working hard and pushing yourself to do your best. Dry needling releases the “muscle knots” in your body so you feel back to yourself again and prepared for the big games or training sessions.
Dry needling stimulates the process of healing in the body by increasing blood flow to the treatment area. Our blood delivers the body’s natural healing abilities to where the dry needling occurred so the healing process is sped up. Athletes have a lot to gain by getting dry needling as part of their treatment.
