Dry Needling

Dry needling is a treatment approach derived from trigger point work using solid filament needles (like acupunture needles) to treat sensitive muscles. It can be very effective for treating  pain located deep within muscle where other approaches such as massage, trigger point release and stretching do not provide significant relief.

There is always lots of debate on this topic which is beyond the scope of this discussion. However interested readers are referred to
