Dry Needling 

in Physical Therapy

Dry needling, previously known as trigger point dry needling, is a technique where a thin, filiform needle is inserted into muscle and soft tissue. The goal of dry needling is to improve local blood flow, muscle activation, pain, and create a nervous system change for the better.

​

Modern dry needling utilizes electrical stimulation for the purpose of influencing the nervous system to calm down nerve pain, muscle spasms, or improve muscle activation.
