How does dry needling work? - The exact mechanisms of dry needling are not known.
There are mechanical and biochemical effects.
Based on the pioneering studies by Dr. Jay Shah and colleagues at the National Institutes of Health, we know that inserting a needle into trigger points can cause favorable biochemical changes, which assist in reducing pain.
It is essential to elicit so-called local twitch responses, which are spinal cord reflexes.
Getting local twitch responses with dry needling is the first step in breaking the pain cycle.

Alisha graduated from Waupaca High School in 2006 and graduated with honors from the Globe University Massage Program with over 1200 hours in course work.
Alisha trained in many different types of techniques, but she is passionate about Condition-Specific Massage.
When a client comes in with a specific complaint I like to use that time with them to work on those areas.
Every person is different and it keeps my mind thinking of what the best treatment is going to be for that client.
I also want people to recognize that massage isn't just for special occasions when we want to treat ourselves.
