Dry Needling
× Dry Needling
Dry needling is an effective treatment technique that targets myofascial trigger points which have become hyper irritable. It is the use of a single filament needle that is inserted into active trigger points, or taut bands of muscle, in order to deactivate and resolve the painful spot, helping to decrease muscle pain and myofascial dysfunction.
Dry needling is not to be confused with the Traditional Chinese Medicine practice of acupuncture. Dry needling is based on Western anatomical and neurophysiological principles and is now widely used in manual therapy fields.
