Dry Needling in – Precisely Targeting the Source of Pain

Malešnica, a peaceful neighborhood in Zagreb, may not be the first place that comes to mind when you think about dry needling. However, finding a skilled practitioner can be a great way to address muscle pain and tension close to home.

When it comes to quickly resolving muscle tension, Dry Needling has become the "secret weapon" of physical therapists and sports medicine professionals in . Although it may look like acupuncture at first glance, it is a completely different, Western medical technique. Using thin, sterile needles, the therapist penetrates deep into the muscle tissue, directly into the center of the trigger point (painful knot) – a spot that is often impossible to reach or "break up" with hands.

Located in a quieter part of Zagreb, Malešnica offers a more relaxed setting for your dry needling treatment. If you're looking for more options, nearby neighborhoods also offer this service.

How Does the Needle Relax the Muscle?

It's called "dry" needling because no medication is injected through the needle. The needle itself is the medicine. The process works mechanically:

1. Insertion: The therapist finds the tense bundle of muscle fibers and inserts the needle.
2. LTR (Local Twitch Response): This is the key moment. When the needle hits the trigger point, the muscle reacts with a sudden, uncontrolled twitch. Although it sounds uncomfortable, this twitch is a sign that the muscle has "reset," meaning that the spasm has been abruptly released and the pain cycle has been interrupted.
3. Blood Flow: The puncture stimulates microcirculation and self-healing processes in chronically tense tissue.

Dry Needling vs. Acupuncture

It's important to know the difference:

• Acupuncture: Part of traditional Chinese medicine. Needles are placed along meridians to balance energy (Chi) in the body. The treatment is usually painless and relaxing.
• Dry Needling: Based on Western anatomy and neurophysiology. Needles are inserted directly into the painful area (muscle/ligament) with the aim of mechanical relaxation. The treatment is more intense and focused on repairing movement function.
