So, what is a trigger point?
A trigger point is a local contracture or tight band in a muscle fiber that can disrupt function, restrict range of motion, referred pain or cause local tenderness. When dry needling is applied to a dysfunctional muscle or trigger point, it can decrease banding or tightness, increase blood flow, and reduce local and referred pain.
Difference between Dry needling and Acupuncture.
It’s important to note dry needling is not the same as acupuncture. It uses similar tools, but that’s where the similarities end. Dry needling is performed by different practitioners with different training. Acupuncture is based on Eastern medicine, while dry needling is rooted in Western medicine and evaluation of pain patterns, posture, movement impairments, function and orthopedic tests.
Dry needling treats muscle tissue, and its goal is to reduce pain, inactivate trigger points and restore function. It rarely is a standalone procedure. Rather, it often is part of a broader physical therapy approach incorporating other traditional physical therapy interventions into treatment.
Dry needling can be used for a wide variety of musculoskeletal issues, such as shoulder, neck, heel, hip and back pain. While research indicates dry needling is a safe and effective approach for treating and managing pain.
Cupping is an ancient method of causing local congestion where a vacuum is created with the use of vessels, which are then placed on the skin either by means of heat or suction, which then draws up the underlying tissues.

Cupping is an ancient method of causing local congestion where a vacuum is created with the use of vessels, which are then placed on the skin either by means of heat or suction, which then draws up the underlying tissues. This negative pressure creates a drawing action in the tissues rather than the compression of massage and results in a highly effective separation of tissue layers. It is also an excellent form of lymphatic drainage. Myofascial release is accomplished with the lifting and loosening of adhesions while assisting in the restructuring of the underlying myofascial bands. Negative pressure therapy also affects the parasympathetic nervous system allowing an added relaxation component to the treatment.
Deep Tissue Massage reaches deeper layers of muscles. It is used to break down knots and relieve pressure points throughout the body. This massage is beneficial for athletes and those who sit for long periods of time.
