Integrative Dry Needling
Integrative Dry Needling (IDN) is a sophisticated therapy that involves the insertion of thin needles through the skin, targeting underlying muscular and connective tissues.
This technique is rooted in neuroanatomy and the modern scientific understanding of the musculoskeletal and nervous systems, and is employed to manage pain, enhance range of motion, and promote the body’s natural healing processes.
