What Is it? What's it do?

Physical therapists and other medical professionals treat trigger points and muscular pain with dry needling. At the exact location of a trigger point or tight muscle, a tiny, sterile needle is put into the skin and muscle. The muscle tissue is stimulated by the needle insertion, which may result in an involuntary contraction of the muscle known as a local twitch reaction. The neurological system may be affected by the stimulation, which can change the way the brain interprets pain signals. It might also encourage blood flow to the region, which would facilitate healing.
