Tigger Point Injections with Dry Needling
Dry needling has proven to be an effective treatment for a variety of muscle problems. When the provider does dry needling, they target pre-determined trigger points in the affected muscles. They use special needles to reach these trigger points. It’s important to differentiate between standard trigger point injections, where a small amount of anesthetic or saline is injected, and trigger point injections with dry needling, where thin needles stimulate trigger points without medication.
These treatments are often part of a broader treatment plan, helping to restore movement and flexibility into sore muscles.
