DRY NEEDLING

​At Millennium Wellness Group we use dry needling to release trigger points in order to relieve pain and increase range of motion. 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. Dry needling is a safe and effective approach that aids in speeding up the return to an active and healthy life.
