00 — What it is

What is dry needling?

A thin, sterile filament needle is inserted into specific trigger points within a muscle — the tight bands often called "knots" that cause pain, restrict movement, and interfere with performance. Despite using similar needles, dry needling is different from acupuncture: it's based on modern anatomy and neuromuscular science, focused specifically on musculoskeletal dysfunction and movement patterns.
