Dry needling is an advanced physical therapy technique that involves inserting fine, sterile needles into specific trigger points in the muscle tissue. These trigger points are tight bands of muscle that can restrict movement and cause pain. Dry needling helps to release these tight spots, reduce discomfort, and restore muscle function—without the use of medication.
This hands-on intervention is commonly used by licensed physical therapists or trained practitioners to relieve pain, improve flexibility, and support the body’s natural healing process.
