Dry needling is a treatment used for pain and movement issues associated with myofascial trigger points. With this technique, a provider inserts thin needles into or near your trigger points. The needles stimulate your muscles, which causes them to contract or twitch. This helps relieve pain and improve your range of motion.
Conditions that dry needling may treat include too :
Joint issues.
Disk issues.
Tendonitis.
Migraine and tension-type headaches.
Jaw and mouth problems, such as temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.
Repetitive motion disorders, such as carpal tunnel syndrome.
Spinal issues.
Pelvic pain.
Night cramps.
Phantom limb pain.
