Dry Needling in Aloha, Beaverton, Hillsboro & Happy Valley
Dry needling is a treatment technique in which thin, filiform needles are inserted directly into myofascial trigger points — tight bands of muscle that can cause pain and restrict movement. Unlike acupuncture, which is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, dry needling is based on modern research into musculoskeletal pain and neuromuscular function. By targeting these trigger points, dry needling helps release muscle tension, improve blood flow, and reduce pain, often allowing patients to move and heal more freely.
