Dry needling is a technique physical therapists use (where allowed by state law) for the treatment of pain and movement impairments. The technique uses a "dry"needle, one without medication or injection, inserted through the skin into areas of the muscle.
Decreased muscle spasm and improved range of motion of muscles/joints Reduce pain Resolvement of radicular symptoms Better recruitment and activation of appropriate muscles Improved muscle activation patterns Central Nervous system response at the level of the dry needling Alteration in chemical balance within the muscle Relief of both acute and chronic pain Promote healing at the area of the injury Better relaxation/switching off in tight muscles
