Dry Needling
Clinical Overview
Dry needling is a highly effective, evidence-based manual therapy technique used at Bethesda Physio & Rehab Clinic in Vellore. We use sterile, ultra-thin needles to target and release myofascial trigger points—tight bands of muscle that cause pain and restrict movement. Unlike acupuncture, which focuses on energy meridians, dry needling directly treats neuro-musculoskeletal pain.
How it Works
The needle insertion causes a local twitch response, which helps to rapidly depolarize the nerve and reduce muscle tension. This process stimulates blood flow, washes away inflammatory chemicals, and promotes tissue healing.
