How dry needling therapy works?
The therapy has expert intervention whereby a hair-thin needle is inserted. Although the mechanism seems similar to acupuncture yet these use a special system that allows depolarising the tissues.
Other benefits of switching to this therapy are –

When trigger points are targeted, it allows for effective management of lactic acid and chemicals. Once this is removed, the oxygenated blood flows to the region.
2. Reduces pain

This may force you to take over-the-counter medications which can be easily eliminated through dry needling. It helps to control these symptoms and overcome requirements for more invasive treatments.
