Dry needling (DN) is a physiotherapeutic method that involves puncturing a trigger point in a muscle or pricking a tight muscle band using sterile, disposable acupuncture needles to treat musculoskeletal pain and dysfunctions within the musculoskeletal system. Although acupuncture needles are used during dry needling, this therapy has nothing to do with the classical form of acupuncture.
During a dry needling treatment, the physiotherapist acts on the neuromuscular plate, stimulating the body's muscle cells to regenerate and remodel. As a result, this leads to a reduction in muscle tension and the reduction and cessation of pain.
Dry needling is a very effective method of treating musculoskeletal pain. It can be combined with other physiotherapeutic methods such as manual therapy and deep tissue massage to manage chronic and acute pain.
