Dry needling is based on inserting fine needles into myofascial trigger points.  Trigger points can cause lingering pain in a region.  They often build up due to an injury, overuse, poor posture or movement dysfunctions.  Dry needling helps with pain management, reducing muscle tightness and increasing blood flow to a region.  It can often reach deep trigger points that our fingers can’t.
