Dry needling is a therapeutic technique that involves inserting thin needles into specific trigger points in the muscles, tendons, or connective tissues to relieve pain and improve mobility. This technique is based on the principles of acupuncture, targeting the same points on the body to stimulate the release of endorphins and promote healing. Unlike acupuncture, dry needling focuses more on the musculoskeletal system and does not involve the use of traditional Chinese medicine concepts. The needles used in dry needling are different from the ones used in acupuncture, as they are solid and do not inject any substance into the body. Dry needling has been found to be effective in reducing muscle tension, improving blood flow, and alleviating pain caused by various musculoskeletal conditions, such as tennis elbow, low back pain, and shoulder impingement.
