Book Free AssessmentDry needling involves the insertion of fine acupuncture needles into myofascial trigger points. The practice is offered by our trained chiropractors and massage therapists at Pro Health Clinic.
Myofascial trigger points are hyper-irritable bands of muscle that cause pain, tightness, and restricted movement. These develop through muscle overuse, ischemia, repetitive postures, or unaccustomed activities.
How Do I Know If I Have a Trigger Point?
Trigger points are common and can develop in anyone. Common indicators include:
- Tender to touch
- Palpable nodule on the muscle
- Pain reproduction when touched
- Reduced movement
- Tightness and restriction
Side Effects
Common post-treatment soreness lasting 24-48 hours is normal. Minor bruising or bleeding may occur but is self-resolving. Some patients may experience temporary fatigue after treatment.
Benefits

- Enhanced function
- Improved mobility
- Decreased muscle pain and spasms
