Dry Needling & IMS Chilliwack
How does Dry Needling help reduce muscular pain and improve function?
Dry Needling is a neurophysiological, evidence-based technique used by trained physiotherapists to target myofascial trigger points—tight, sensitive knots within muscles that can contribute to persistent pain. By inserting a thin, sterile needle directly into these points, the treatment helps release muscle tension, reduce pain, and restore proper function.
What is the purpose and process of Dry Needling?
The goal of Dry Needling is to create a localized twitch response in the muscle, which helps “reset” abnormal neuromuscular activity. This twitch is often felt as a quick spasm and indicates the muscle is releasing. Research shows that dry needling can reduce muscle tension, normalize nerve and muscle communication, and support faster recovery when combined with manual therapy.
