What is Trigger Point Dry Needling (TPDN)?
TPDN is a technique used to reduce muscle pain and dysfunction. It uses fine, solid filament needles (similar to acupuncture needles) that are sterile, single use, and disposable. The needles are inserted through the skin into the underlying tissues and muscles at specific points known as myofascial trigger points. When a twitch response is obtained, the trigger point is released resulting in reduced pain, improved mobility, and improved activation patterns.
Conditions that TPDN can help:
Headaches and neck pain
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain
Low back pain
Hip and knee pain
Runners knee
Shoulder pain
Tennis elbow and golfer's elbow
