The effectiveness of dry needle therapy lies in its ability to target and release myofascial trigger points – tight knots within muscles that cause and contribute to pain. When the needle is inserted, it creates a minor lesion within the affected muscle. This process stimulates the body’s healing mechanisms, increasing blood flow and triggering the release of natural painkillers. Unlike acupuncture, which is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine and focuses on balancing the body’s energy flow, dry needle therapy is firmly based on modern Western medical principles and is specifically designed to address physical pain and muscular dysfunction.

Dry needle therapy, a form of therapy where fine needles are inserted into specific muscle or tissue points, is a game-changer in managing pain and enhancing muscle function. Dr. Robinson at AZMulticare utilizes this therapy to target myofascial trigger points, relieving tension and improving muscle performance. Ideal for athletes, individuals with chronic pain, or anyone suffering from muscular discomfort, dry needle therapy is a versatile and minimally invasive solution for a wide range of conditions.

Dry needle therapy offers numerous benefits, making it a sought-after treatment at AZMulticare:

• Accelerated Recovery: Speeds up recovery from injuries, especially sports-related ones.
