What is dry needling?
Dry needling is an evidence-based treatment technique used by physical therapists to treat muscle pain and other conditions. The therapist inserts a monofilament “dry” needle, one without medication or injection, into a trigger point of a specific muscle to elicit a twitch response to decrease pain and improve range of motion. Preliminary research supports that dry needling improves pain control, reduces muscle tension, and can speed up the rehabilitation process. (Mejuto-Vazquez, et al, 2014)
5 things you should know about dry needling:
1. Dry needling can help with decreasing pain and improving mobility in conditions such as shoulder pain, Golfer’s elbow and back pain.
2. Dry needling is different from acupuncture. While acupuncture is based in Chinese medicine and focuses on energy flow, trigger point dry needling is based in Western medicine and focuses on knots and taut bands in specific muscle groups.
3. Dry needling can help with chronic muscle tightness from prolonged sitting or repetitive movement.
4. Dry needling uses a thin monofilament needle without medication or injection.
5. There are no restrictions to activities you can perform after a session of dry needling. You will be sore, but you can work out and go about all normal activities without any issues.
