WHAT IS DRY NEEDLING?

Dry needling is a skilled technique performed by a physical therapist with advanced training to help release muscle tension and pain. It is NOT the same as acupuncture despite using the same tool (a thin filiform needle). Instead of the therapist using his/her hands to work on dysfunctional structures, a needle is used to help "reset" the tissue to its more normal state so it can be properly retrained with exercise.
