How Dry Needling Works
The small needles are inserted into the skin and muscle to release painful myofascial trigger points. The term ‘dry needling’ is used because there is no solution injected into the body as with a hypodermic needle. With dry needling, the acupuncture needle itself produces the treatment.
When repetitive or overuse injuries occur, inflammation can be produced from the damaged tissues. The aggravated area becomes hypoxic (decreased in oxygen) which causes the body to produce scar tissue. When we place a needle into muscle, it will produce a controlled lesion and cut between the individual muscle fibers. The body considers the needle a foreign invader and activates the immune system as a response. The cut muscle fibers produces an inflammatory reaction that the body will respond to not just locally but all over the body to reduce inflammation systemically.
