Dry Needling
Dry needling (also known as Modern/Medical Acupuncture) is the use of solid filiform needles for therapy of muscle pain, sometimes also known as intramuscular stimulation. The needles are similar to acupuncture needles. Analgesia produced by needling a pain spot has been called the needle effect. Acupuncture and dry needling techniques are similar, but their rationale and use in treatment are different.
Dry needling works very well within Osteopathic treatments and aids in muscle relaxation, it is completely up to the patient as to whether they wish to have this form of treatment carried out.
