Functional Dry Needling
Functional dry needling uses thin needles to target and release trigger points in muscles, alleviating pain, reducing tension, and enhancing muscle function for improved mobility and comfort.
What We Can Do To Help You
Functional dry needling is a specialized physical therapy technique that involves inserting thin, sterile needles into specific points in the body known as trigger points. These trigger points are tight, knotted areas within muscles that can cause pain, weakness, and limited range of motion. Unlike acupuncture, which is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine and focuses on balancing energy flow, dry needling is based on modern anatomical and physiological principles aimed at resolving musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction.
At Physiozone, our certified therapists use dry needling to address a variety of conditions, including chronic pain, sports injuries, headaches, and muscle tension. The process involves inserting the needle into the trigger point without injecting any substance, which helps release muscle tightness, improve blood flow, and reduce inflammation. This targeted approach enhances muscle function, promotes healing, and restores movement.
