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.
In dry needling, needles are inserted in the muscle and ligament trigger points, and it is beneficial in reducing the muscle tension, and in decreasing the level of pain in a specific area. The results of this treatment can vary in different patients, but it is usually quite rewarding, helpful and useful.
