Dry needling (also referred to as trigger point dry needling) is a technique used to treat dysfunctions in skeletal muscle, fascia, and connective tissue (Apta.org, 2016). Dry Needling involves the insertion of a thin filament needle to stimulate the healing process of soft tissues (muscle “trigger points”, fascia, tendons and ligaments, etc.) resulting in pain relief.
Dry Needling can provide relief for a variety of musculoskeletal problems including, but not limited to:
- Acute/Chronic injuries
- Headaches
- Neck/Back pain, including “Sciatica”
- Tendinitis
- Muscle Spasms
- Hip/Knee pain
