Trigger point dry needling involves the insertion of an acupuncture needle into the muscle for the treatment of myofascial pain and neuromuscular dysfunction.  When dry needling is applied to an affected muscle or trigger point, it can decrease muscle tightness, increase blood flow and reduce pain.

Sky has completed the Acupuncture Canada Certification in Dry Needling (ACCDN).  

Acupuncture stimulates the release of endorphins – the body’s natural pain-relieving neurohormones – through the insertion of needles into specific anatomical points (acupuncture points) to encourage natural healing. Therapeutic effects include: pain relief, increased energy, improved mood, and improved body function.

Sky has completed the Acupuncture Canada Level 1 Certification (ACC Level 1).
