Dry needling is a technique used in physiotherapy for the treatment of muscle pain and dysfunctions associated with the so-called myofascial trigger points. These points are localized areas within the muscle that can generate pain, stiffness, limitation of movement and even discomfort that radiates to other areas of the body.
The treatment consists of introducing a small-caliber sterile needle directly into the trigger point, with the aim of deactivating it. This stimulation produces a local response that helps relax the muscle fiber, reduce pain and improve mobility.
Dry needling is a safe and effective technique when performed by a qualified health professional, after an individualized assessment. It is usually integrated into a broader treatment plan that may include manual therapy, therapeutic exercise and personalized recommendations, in order to achieve a complete and lasting recovery.
Each intervention is adapted to the specific needs of the patient, always prioritizing their safety and well-being.
