More About Dry Needles?

What is Meant By Dry Needle?

• Dry Needling is a technique physical therapists use (where allowed by state law) to treat myofascial pain
• The technique uses a “dry” needle, one without medication or injection, inserted through the skin into areas of the muscle, known as trigger points.

What Kind of Needles Are Used?

• Dry needling involves a thin filiform needle that penetrates the skin and stimulates underlying myofascial trigger points and muscular and connective tissues.
• The needle allows a physical therapist to target tissues that are not manually palpable.
• Physical therapists wear gloves and appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when dry needling, consistent with Standard Precautions, Guide to Infection Prevention for Outpatient Settings, and OSHA standards.
• The sterile needles are disposed of in a medical sharps collector

How does Dry Needles work?

• Dry needling involves the use of a solid filament needle to stimulate a twitch response to release muscle tension and pain, allowing the body’s biochemistry to produce a natural analgesic.
• It helps to treat the limitations and restrictions that are found during physical assessment.
• For most conditions dry needling has little or no post treatment side effects with equal or better therapeutic effect than other manual therapies.
