How does Dry Needling Work?
Releases Muscle Tension and Spasms
When muscles become tight or develop painful knots, they can restrict movement and cause discomfort. Dry Needling targets these trigger points, helping to release the tension and reduce spasms. This allows your muscles to relax, restoring proper function and relieving pain.
What Is Dry Needling?
Dry Needling is a therapeutic technique that uses thin, sterile needles to target trigger points in your muscles. By releasing tension and improving blood flow, it helps reduce pain, restore mobility, and accelerate healing.

Improves Blood Flow and Oxygenation
By stimulating the targeted area, Dry Needling increases blood circulation and delivers more oxygen, nutrients, and essential proteins to the affected muscles. This enhanced blood flow helps to flush out toxins, reduce inflammation, and promote faster recovery and healing.
Stimulates Your Body’s Natural Healing Response
Dry Needling activates your body’s innate ability to heal itself. The micro-injuries created by the needles trigger a healing response, encouraging the production of collagen and other essential proteins. This helps repair damaged tissues, reduce pain, and improve overall muscle health.
At Optimal Health, we go beyond traditional chiropractic care to provide a comprehensive, patient-centered approach to pain relief and wellness.
