What is dry needling ?
A clinician will use thin filiform needles (the same needle that are commonly used in acupuncture) and inject them into the trigger point during a dry needling session. The purpose is to “deactivate the trigger point.” Trigger points are something we all have, but only when they’re activated they can cause symptoms. You’ll feel a greater range of motion and less pain when the trigger point is deactivated.
How does dry needling deactivate the trigger point ?
Researchers are still unsure how the therapy works, but they think it stimulates blood flow to the trigger points to ease muscle contraction. Some believe dry needling can also block pain signals.
Learn why is it worth it
Many people mistake dry needling for acupuncture because it uses needles to stimulate a response. However, the two therapies are different. Acupuncture’s goal is to unblock Qi (the body’s energy) and move it through the body’s systems (i.e. nervous, circulatory, & muscular, etc). Because dry needling is not based on acupuncture’s ancient philosophy it focuses more specifically on the treatment of muscle pain and nerve.
This therapy is best known for relieving trigger point pain in the spine. However, it has been used by practitioners for many other conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome or cervicogenic headaches.
There are many types of dry needling practitioners, such as physical therapists and chiropractors, acupuncturists and nurses, as well as doctors.
