Dry Needling

Dry needling refers to the insertion of thin monofilament needles, without the use of injectate

Dry needling is typically used to treat muscles, ligaments, tendons, subcutaneous fascia, scar tissue, peripheral nerves, and neurovascular bundles for the management of a variety of neuromusculoskeletal pain syndromes

Dry needling to an 'intramuscular' procedure is the insertion of needles into nodules within taut bands of muscle, more commonly referred to as 'trigger points' or 'myofascial trigger points'

Dry needling improves pain control, reduces muscle tension, normalizes biochemical and electrical dysfunction of motor endplates, and facilitates an accelerated return to active rehabilitation'
