Dry needling is a style of functional acupuncture performed by a trained chiropractor or physical therapist. 

​

The goal of dry needling is to reduce pain, and to help restore function.  It can be very effective for musculo-skeletal conditions such as tendinitis, trigger points, neck and shoulder pain, hip and back pain and plantar fasciitis. 

​

When inserted,, the needle creates tiny lesions in the tissue, thereby promoting blood flow and tissue healing.
