Can Dry Needling Help Regulate Your Nervous System?

Pain and stress aren't just in your head or the muscles; they're deeply tied to the nervous system. When someone is stuck in a chronic stress state, their muscles often stay tense, their breathing pattern changes, and their body has a harder time relaxing, even at rest. Dry needling is increasingly used not just for muscle pain, but as a tool that may support the nervous system in shifting out of that pattern.
