What is Dry Needling?
Dry needling, also known as trigger point dry needling and myofascial trigger point dry needling, is the use of needles for therapy of muscle pain, including pain related to myofascial pain syndrome.
Dry needling helps in increasing blood flow, reducing referred and local pain, and decreasing overall tightness or banding. Dry needling is also used to improve flexibility and increase range of motion. That’s why this method is often used to treat sports injuries, muscle pain, and even fibromyalgia pain.
