Dry Needling. Dry Needling involves multiple advances of a filament needle into the muscle in the region of a Trigger Point'. The aim of Dry Needling is to achieve a local twitch response to release muscle tension and pain.Dry needling is an effective treatment for chronic pain of neuropathic origin with very few side effects.This technique is unequalled in finding and eliminating neuromuscular dysfunction that leads to pain and functional deficits.esearch supports that dry needling improves pain control, reduces muscle tension, normalizes biochemical and electrical dysfunction of motor endplates, and facilitates an accelerated return to active rehabilitation.
