Dry Needling for Chronic Pain

Dry needling, also known as "trigger point dry needling," is a technique used by many different healthcare disciplines, including acupuncturists, physical therapists, physicians, dentists, veterinarians, occupational therapists, athletic trainers, myotherapists, among others.

Dry needling is a effective treatment for muscular pain and trigger points. The doctor places very thin acupuncture needles into the muscle to release the muscular tension or trigger point. The needles are placed into the muscle creating a muscle twitch or contraction.
