By Dr Sarah Jarvis | 28 Aug 2015. The swollen âglandsâ that you feel â most commonly on your neck when you have a throat infection â are called lymph glands or lymph nodes. They are connected by a complicated network of tubes called lymph channels, which run all over your body.
Dry needling is an invasive procedure in which a solid filament needle is inserted into the skin and muscle directly at a myofascial trigger point. A myofascial trigger point consists of multiple contraction knots, which are related to the production and maintenance of the pain cycle.
Another benefit of Dry Needling or Needle Therapy is its usefulness in treating back and neck pain which may take a long time to go away with conventional methods of treatment. Similarly, pain caused due to hip and knee conditions and muscle spasms can also be effectively treated with Dry Needling or Needle Therapy.
