Dry needling is a therapeutic technique where a healthcare professional inserts thin, solid needles into specific points in a muscle, known as trigger points, to treat musculoskeletal pain and movement issues. This technique stimulates the muscle and releases tension. It is often performed by physical therapists and sometimes by acupuncturists. The key point is that no medication is injected with the needle, hence the term ā€œdryā€ needling.

Dry needling is not acupuncture. While acupuncture is based on traditional Chinese medicine and can only be performed by licensed acupuncturists, dry needling is a modern Western medical practice supported by evidence-based research.

Why Dry Needling?
Dry needling is typically part of a larger treatment plan. It can inactivate trigger points to relieve pain and improve range of motion. Research suggests that dry needling can also enhance pain control, reduce muscle tension, and improve the interaction between nerves and muscles. This can help speed up a person’s ability to return to active rehabilitation.

Physical therapists are well-trained in anatomy and the treatment of the body as part of their entry-level education. Those who perform dry needling obtain additional specific education and training. When seeking dry needling treatment, it is important to ask the physical therapist about their experience and education to ensure you receive the best care.
