• Dry Needling involves inserting an acupuncture
  needle into a trigger point and is typically used
  to treat the pain associated with injuries.
• A trigger point is a tender spot in a tight band
  of muscle which causes pain when pressed or
  squeezed.
• They often occur as a result of neuromuscular
  dysfunction and in areas of musculoskeletal
  stress.
• Everyone has trigger points but when they are
  deactivated it can allow for more efficient
  movement, increased flexibility and lead to a
  decrease in pain.
