Dry Needling releases trigger points to ease musculoskeletal pain and improve range of movement. Sonoma Acupuncture Integrative Health is the only provider in the Las Cruces, New Mexico area with extensive training and experience in both Dry Needling and Orthopedic Acupuncture.
An initial consultation with Dr. Janet Quintanilla is required to find out if you are a candidate for Dry Needling. If you are determined to be a candidate, we can perform your first procedure the same day.
What Is A Trigger Point?
A trigger point is a local contracture or tight band in a muscle fiber that can disrupt function, restrict range of motion, cause pain or muscle tenderness.
How Does Dry Needling Help?
When Dry Needling is applied to a muscular trigger point, it can decrease banding or tightness, increase blood flow, and reduce pain & muscle tenderness.
Is Dry Needling The Same As Acupuncture?
Dry Needling is not the same as acupuncture. Acupuncture is based on Eastern medicine, whereas Dry Needling is rooted in Western medicine and the evaluation of pain patterns and movement impairments.
