Dry Needling Therapy is also known as Trigger Point Dry Needling for Myofascial Trigger Point. Dry Needling is a process in which thin needles are inserted into the trigger points or tight muscles of the body. It is usually done to treat myofascial pain (Myo means Muscle and Fascia means Tissue that connects muscles). The main purpose is to improve Tissue Healing and Restore Muscle Functions.

Muscles in our body sometimes develop knotted areas called trigger points which are quite sensitive and can be painful when touched. Physiotherapists push thin solid needles through the skin into these trigger points. These needles are used to stimulate the tissue and not to inject the medication.
Dry needling is a treatment that healthcare providers use for pain and movement issues associated with myofascial trigger points. With this technique, a provider inserts thin needles into or near your trigger points. The needles stimulate your muscles, which causes them to contract or twitch.
