The procedure known as Dry Needling is an important tool for diagnosing, treating and monitoring changes in myofascial trigger/tender points. During this procedure, a sterile, very thin, solid filament needle is inserted into tissue that may be associated with one or a number of your complaints. One or more needles may be used, and the procedure may be performed during more than one office visit. The number of needles, and the frequency of the procedure, will depend entirely on your condition at each office visit. There is little to no pain with this procedure.
