Dry Needling in Charlotte NC

Dry Needling is a new therapy that is safe, minimally discomforting, and addresses the main causes of muscular pain - trigger points, inflammation, and tension. Trigger points are the "nodules, or knots, and tight bands that develop in the muscle" according to the Dry Needling Institute. Similar to acupuncture, a thin monofilament needle is inserted directly into the tissue in need, as opposed to the acupuncture meridians, which is scientifically proven to release the tension and inflammation out of the irritated soft tissue.
