MYOFASCIAL DRY NEEDLING

Myofascial Dry Needling is used for the assessment and treatment of myofascial pain syndrome due to myofascial trigger points. Pain reduction is established by inactivating a trigger point, thus eliminating the nociceptive focus of the muscle. One needle is inserted into a trigger point, causing a local twitch response.

Advantages of dry needling include:

• Establishes a painless range of movement at the time of treatment
• Provides muscle relaxation and pain relief
• Improves kinaesthetic sense
• Prevents allergic reaction
• Decreased chance of hematomas
• Can treat deep muscles close to neurovascular bundles
