Dry needling changes tissue on two levels. A walk through the cross-bridge cycle and why the nervous system drives most of the change in muscle length.

Most conditions share a common denominator: an overactive fight-or-flight system. How dry needling works on mechanical and neurological levels, plus the patient elevator pitch we teach.

How do you explain dry needling to a patient? This series answers the questions I hear most when teaching, from the elevator pitch to how we structure sessions.

Low-frequency microcurrent paired with dry needling may help cells produce energy and shift the body toward rest-and-repair. The science behind the combination and how we use it.
