Dry needling is used to relieve tight, painful muscles and trigger points. It is a safe technique for treating many musculoskeletal and neuromuscular conditions, such as hip, back, or leg pain, pelvic pain, and urinary incontinence.
During a dry needling treatment, one or more thin, monofilament needles are inserted into a muscle trigger point. A trigger point is a local band of tight, irritable, and dysfunctional muscle tissue.
Dry needling decreases muscle tightness by facilitating or inhibiting abnormal muscle tone and motor recruitment patterns. It can also help by increasing blood flow and decreasing myofascial pain and trigger points.
