What it is

How myofascial dry needling works

Dry needling uses very thin, sterile needles placed into trigger points: tight, tender knots in a muscle. “Dry” means nothing is injected.

It's different from acupuncture. It's based on muscle anatomy, and the aim is to help a stubborn knot relax so the muscle can move and work normally.
