Dry Needling - Balance your Nervous System and Achieve Relief from Pain

Dry needling quickly and effectively regulates the central and autonomic nervous system (CNS/ANS) towards homeostasis, which in turn, regulates our muscle health. With the use of fine acupuncture needles, dry needling targets myofascial trigger points-hyperirritable spots within the muscles.
The overall effect of needling, almost regardless of how it is performed, results in CNS/ANS sympathetic depression below baseline and parasympathetic elevation above baseline.

Dry needling is shown to immediately increase range of motion, decrease muscle tone and decrease pain in those musculoskeletal conditions. Research has shown that dry needling can also assist in the treatment. of stress and anxiety by impacting areas of the brain related to pain, stress and sensitivity.
