Dry needling is a therapeutic technique performed by trained healthcare professionals, such as physical therapists, to treat muscle pain and movement issues. It involves inserting thin, sterile needles into specific trigger points or tight areas within the muscles to relieve pain, reduce muscle tension, and improve mobility. Unlike acupuncture, which is based on traditional Chinese medicine, dry needling is rooted in Western medicine principles and anatomy. The procedure is generally safe when performed by qualified practitioners. Patients may experience mild soreness after the treatment, but serious side effects are rare.
