Balancing the mind and body

Dry Needling

Dry Needling is a form of acupuncture that is used for pain management aimed at myofascial pain. It is based on medical research of Trigger Points. A thin monofilament needle penetrates the skin and treats underlying muscular trigger points for the management of neuromusculoskeletal pain and movement impairments.

It is aimed at myofascial trigger points (MTrP) which are hyperirritable spots in skeletal muscle that are associated with a hypersensitive palpable nodule in a taut band Trigger point dry needling can be carried out at superficial or deep tissue level. We recommend dry needling and trigger point acupuncture be performed by your acupuncturist or medical doctor, when applicable.

Treatment depends on your unique constitution/prakriti, your primary dosha, and the balance between all three of them. The way to determine your constitution is by having a consultation with a certified ayurveda provider.

A main goal of Ayurvedic medicine is to cleanse your body of undigested food called ama, which can stick to the inside of your body and make imbalance. One particular cleansing process is called panchakarma. It is used to reduce any symptoms and reestablish harmony and balance.
