Dry Needling is therapy where a thin monofilament needle penetrates the skin and treats underlying muscular trigger points for the management of neuromuscular pain and movement impairments. When dry needling is applied to a dysfunctional muscle or a trigger point, it can decrease banding or tightness, increase blood flow, and reduce local and referred pain. Dry needling can be used for a wide variety of musculoskeletal issues, such as shoulder, neck, heel, hip and back pain.
