Dry Needling
The APTA (American Physical Therapy Association) defines Dry Needling as “a skilled intervention that uses a thin filiform needle to penetrate the skin and stimulate underlying myofascial trigger points, muscular, and connective tissues for the management of neuromusculoskeletal pain and movement impairments.”
Dry Needling in Pro Motion Physical Therapy is used for many different purposes. It is mainly used to release active and latent trigger points to decrease resting tone of the muscle, restore proper function and decrease pain in the muscle. By puncturing the tendon and/or muscle we are creating bleeding in the area which stimulates the healing process in that area. Finally, Dry Needling can also be used to internally to manipulate scar tissue and fascia to help promote tissue movement.
The typical sensation of getting dry needled is a slight prick at the surface when the needle is inserted and then a dull “tooth ache” sensation when the needle inserts into the trigger point. During the entire time the therapist is communicating with the patient to make sure everything is appropriate.
Conditions that would benefit from Dry Needling include:
- Low back and neck pain
- Shoulder Impingement
- Migraine or Tension Headaches
- TMJ pain
- Tendinitis
- Sciatica
- Plantar Fasciitis
