Dry needling is an extremely effective technique. It can be used to improve acute and chronic pain conditions, to facilitate tissue healing after injuries or to release hypertonic (taut) muscles that hold trigger points. Myofascial trigger points are discrete, hyperirritable areas located in a taut band of skeletal muscles. They can cause local and referred pain, which is very common in chronic musculoskeletal disorders. The overactive, hypertonic muscle is released by inserting thin filament (acupuncture) needles into the specific taut areas. Subsequently, the patient often experiences a sense of relief and an increased range of motion. When Dry Needling is used in conjunction with specific Manual Therapy techniques, corrective exercises and taping, it offers longer-lasting benefits for the patient.
