I have been practicing dry needling for about 2.5 years. I use dry needling to inactivate muscular trigger points. I believe that dry needling is a very effective way to release muscles especially in more chronic patients. I have taken my courses with myo pain seminars which was very comprehensive and required more than 100 hours of education. Also, I had to study a lot to be able to get the certification and safely practice dry needling, I have been working on trigger points for a long time and I have translated the main texct book of tirgger point by Janet Travell to Farsi , my home language. I found dry needling as one of the most effective ways to work on trigger points. I believe physical therapies have great knowledge of anatomy that helps a lot in mastering dry needling techniques and practicing safely.
