Dry needling is the use of acupuncture type needle into a trigger point of a shortened muscle to create a “twitch” response. A shortened or tight muscle can cause compression in nerve fibers and joints, fostering neuropathic pain and arthritis. Research has documented the effectiveness of a twitch response in releasing tight and shortened muscles, hence releasing compression in nerves and joints.

You will feel a very short-lasting cramping sensation in your muscle during dry needling and temporary muscle ache for a day or two after your treatment, as a result of release of inflammatory chemicals from the shorten muscle. Feel free to speak your therapist if you are concern of side effects or contraindications of dry needling.
