Dry needling is the use of acupuncture needles in physical therapy to relieve muscular pain and myofascial disorders. It involves multiple advances of a filament needle into the muscle in the region of a "trigger point" to achieve a local twitch response to release muscle tension and pain. 
 
Dry needling helps to accelerate healing by allowing for increased circulation to the injured area, improved oxygen delivery, and stimulation of the neural pathways that can block pain messages as they travel from your central nervous system to your muscles. When combined with the appropriate strengthening or stabilization exercises and biomechanical assessment, dry needling can help alleviate both chronic and muscular disorders.
