Dry Needle: Uses, Outcome, Research Studies & Treatment

 

What is dry needling?

Dry needling is a technique that requires the insertion of thin monofilament needles without the use of injectate (steroids and anesthetics) into the muscles, ligaments, tendons, subcutaneous fascia, and scar tissue.1 The technique is commonly used to treat these things stated above and also the body’s peripheral nerves and neurovascular bundles for the management of variety of neuromusculoskeletal pain syndromes.1

What does dry needling treat?

Dry needling can be used to treat a variety of musculoskeletal problems.3 This includes neck, back, and shoulder pain, tension headaches and migraines, and jaw pain.  Also, it is often used to treat myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) which are localized hypersensitive spots in palpable taut band of muscle.2 

Outcome of dry needling

Several studies have shown improvements in pain and/or disabilities are immediate or short-term by targeting trigger points (TrPs) using in-and-out techniques as in ‘sparrow pecking’ or ‘pistoning’.1 Although dry needling has been shown to immediately increase the pressure pain threshold (PPT) and range of motion, decrease muscle tone, and decrease pain with musculoskeletal conditions, there is a lacking of evidence that there is any long-term benefits.To date there in not any high-quality, long term trials that supporting in-and-out needling techniques at exclusively muscular TrPs exist.1
