Dry needling is a technique used by healthcare professionals to treat pain and muscle problems. It involves putting thin needles into painful areas in the muscles or tissues to help reduce pain and tension. While dry needling is based on a different scientific explanation than traditional Chinese acupuncture, it has been shown to be a safe and effective treatment for conditions like chronic pain and headaches. If you are experiencing chronic pain, it's a good idea to talk to a healthcare professional about different treatment options, including dry needling, to find the best approach for your specific needs.
