Dry needling is a treatment delivered by a healthcare provider that is used to treat musculoskeletal pain and movement issues. This procedure is almost always use in conjunction with a larger pain management plan that includes exercise, stretching, massage, myofascial release, or joint manipulation. The benefits of dry needling are decreased tightness, increase blood flow and reduce local and referred pain. These thin needles don’t contain any kind of medication, hence, the term “dry.” Nothing is injected into your body which is different from Trigger point injections, which contains medication and is performed by a physician.
