DRY NEEDLING
Trigger-point dry needling is an invasive procedure where a fine needle or acupuncture needle is inserted into the skin and muscle. It is aimed at myofascial trigger points (MTrP) which are hyperirritable spots in skeletal muscle that are associated with a hyper sensitive palpable nodule in a taut band. Dry needling relaxes the muscles, boosts blood flow, triggers a healing response, improves nerve communication and activates the release of your body’s natural pain relievers.
