Dry Needling Acupuncture, Acupuncture Therapy

Dry needling acupuncture treats muscle tissue with the goal of reducing pain, reducing trigger points and improving movement.

Trigger-point dry needling is where a fine needle or acupuncture needle is inserted into the skin and muscle. It targets myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) - hyperirritable spots palpable as nodules in the taut bands of skeletal muscles.

Trigger point dry needling can be performed at either superficial or deep tissue levels.
