Dry needling is a treatment that employs the use of tiny needles to alleviate pain and enhance muscle function. It is also known as myofascial trigger point dry needling or trigger point dry needling.Our certified therapists at FYZICAL Therapy & Balance Center - Plainfield, IL, put needles into the skin and then into the muscle during dry needling. This can result in a local twitch reaction, often known as a muscular contraction. The needle is subsequently removed, and the therapist moves on to the next targeted location.Dry needling treatment is based on the premise that there are trigger points in the muscles that can cause pain and other issues. Dry needling may aid by relieving the tension associated with these trigger sites.
