Musculoskeletal acupuncture is a technique whereby thin sterile needles are inserted into skeletal muscles, which can cause them to contract or twitch. This technique can reduce pain, improve muscle activation patterns creating improved range of motion and can also result in chemical alterations around myofascial trigger points.
Musculoskeletal acupuncture or dry needling is an effective treatment for acute and chronic pain, particularly of the back, neck and shoulders. Needling has been shown to have a positive effect of inflammation by targeting myofascial trigger points.
