Is where a qualified practitioner inserts several fine, short, stainless steel needles into “trigger points” in your muscle. These may also be referred to as “knots” and may help to release the dysfunction in an area of muscle. These needles don’t inject fluid into the body that’s why the term “dry” is used.
Dry needling has been shown to:
Give immediate reduction in local and referred pain
Restore range of motion and muscle activation patterns
Decrease and resolve pain associated with myofascial dysfunction
Promotes healing by stimulating collagen and protein formation
