Trigger point dry needling is used to manage discomfort and to stimulate muscle function. It is a skilled manual therapy intervention in which a very thin sterile needle is inserted through the skin into the muscle, and is directed into a myofascial trigger point. Inserting a needle in the trigger point will cause a “twitch” of the muscle and eliminate pain being felt in this area.
