Dry Needling for Muscle Tension

Dry Needling for Muscle Tension

Dry Needling is a precise and effective technique for treating deep muscular pain, contractures, and trigger points responsible for chronic tension. By inserting fine needles into specific points within the muscle, it promotes the release of contracted fibers, improves local circulation, reduces inflammation, and restores functional mobility. Unlike traditional acupuncture, Dry Needling is based on neuromuscular principles and is often integrated into osteopathic and physiotherapy treatments for rapid, long-lasting results. At Image, this therapy is recommended for those suffering from neck tension, lower back pain, sports-related or postural discomfort. It offers a modern, personalized approach to relieving pain and supporting recovery, fully aligned with our Longevity philosophy.
