DRY NEEDLING

Dry needling is a safe and effective treatment to reduce pain, tension, increase range of motion, and improve function for work and exercise. Moreover is is an effective treatment for scar tissue from new and old injuries to break up the tissue, making it more pliable, less restrictive, and improving the appearance. Call to see how Dry Needling can improve your health.

At Millennium Wellness Group we use dry needling to release trigger points in order to relieve pain and increase range of motion that aids in speeding up the return to an active and healthy life. Trigger points, also known as "knots", are local areas of muscle contracture that can cause local or referred pain, restrict range of motion, and disrupt function. Over time these knots disrupt circulation and neural flow causing the tissues to become unhealthy. Using a needle to penetrate these trigger points relieves the muscle "knot" which relaxes the muscle fibers, increases circulation, decreases pain, and normalizes nerve impulses transmitted to the muscles. In addition, it promotes the production of collagen to generate new healthy tissue for improved muscle function.
