The dry needling method is a therapeutic technique used for treating muscle pain and dysfunction. It involves inserting thin needles into trigger points (painful areas) in the muscles.
This method is applied to reduce pain, improve blood circulation, and restore muscle function. It is often used for sports injuries, chronic pain, and myofascial syndrome.
Mechanism of Action: The needle is inserted into the muscle, causing irritation to the trigger points, promoting muscle relaxation and reducing pain sensations. This activates the body’s natural pain-relieving mechanisms, such as the release of endorphins.
