Dry needling therapy is a technique used by physical therapists to treat muscle pain and dysfunction. It involves the insertion of thin, sterile needles into trigger points within the affected muscles. The needles create micro-lesions, stimulating the body’s natural healing response and releasing tight knots or muscle spasms. Dry needling can help reduce pain, improve muscle function, and restore range of motion. This treatment is commonly used for conditions such as myofascial pain syndrome, tendonitis, and muscle strains. Dry needling therapy is considered safe and has been found to be effective in managing musculoskeletal pain.
