Dry Needling

Dry Needling

Dry needling is a modern treatment designed to ease muscular pain. Practitioner inserts several filiform needles into patient’s skin. Filiform needles are fine, short, stainless steel needles that don’t inject fluid into the body.

Practitioners place the needles in trigger points, tender points, or areas of fascia and muscle that are hypersensitive and irritated, needles may be inserted in specific spots to treat those areas. The needle can create a fasciculation, or small movement, in the muscle that then releases the tension from that area. Needling can also stimulate blood flow to the area, increase oxygenation to the tissues, and reduce central sensitization (overactivity in the surrounding nerves).
