Dry Needling
 

I have seen many positive effects from dry needling on patients with myofasical trigger points. Physical Therapists are highly trained healthcare professionals who specialize in treating the neurological, muscular and skeletal movement systems via many modalities and dry needling is one such modality.  Physical Therapists have the clinical knowledge to perform trigger point dry needling safely and effectively.
