Dry Needling (Intramuscular Manual Therapy) is a technique using the insertion of a solid filament needle, without medication, into or through the skin to treat various impairments including, but not limited to: scarring, myofascial pain, motor recruitment and muscle firing problems. Goals for treatment vary from pain relief, increased extensibility of scar tissue to the improvement of neuromuscular firing patterns. Needling decreases muscle hypertonicity. It can also enhance the range of motion of damaged joints. However, most physiotherapists use this technique to cure myofascial pain. The needles stimulate damaged myofascial tissue and help patients eliminate sensations like muscle aching, soreness, etc. Physiotherapists assess patients based on how much myofascial pain they experience. Then, they determine how deep the needles go inside their skin and how long they stay there.
