Dry Needling Needles
These needles are designed specifically for the practice of dry needling, and it’s easier to use than traditional acupuncture needles. The DN needles feature larger and stiffer handles, which make manipulation of the needles much easier. The needles are smoother to insert and minimize tissue damage, while optimizing patient comfort.
Made in collaboration with Jan Dommerholt, Orlando Mayoral and Johnson McEvoy
