Dry needling is a therapeutic technique in which a trained physical therapist inserts small, sterile filament needles into the skin and muscle directly at a myofascial trigger point. This generates a twitch response, helping release muscle tension and pain.

Dry needling can be used to treat a variety of musculoskeletal issues including: neck, back and shoulder pain; arm pain (tennis elbow, carpal tunnel, golfer’s elbow); tension headaches; knee and foot pain; buttock and leg pain (sciatica, hamstring strains, calf tightness/spasms).
