needling techniques

Needling techniques involve the precise insertion of thin, sterile needles into specific points on the body to stimulate healing, relieve pain, or improve function. These approaches are common in practices like acupuncture and dry needling. The needles may be inserted superficially or more deeply, depending on the treatment goal. The process can help release muscle tension, improve blood flow, and modulate nerve activity. Practitioners tailor the technique—such as needle depth, angle, and manipulation—to target specific tissues or symptoms, aiming to promote natural healing responses and restore balance within the body.
