Dry Needling
A thin monofilament needle penetrates the skin and treats underlying muscular trigger points for the management of neuromusculoskeletal pain and movement impairments.
A trigger point is a local contracture or tight band in a muscle fiber that can disrupt function, restrict the range of motion, refer pain or cause local tenderness. When dry needling is applied to a dysfunctional muscle or trigger point, it can decrease banding or tightness, increase blood flow, and reduce local and referred pain.
Dry Needling is defined by the State of Michigan as a form of acupuncture.
