🪡 What actually happens during dry needling?
When a fine needle is inserted into targeted tissue, it creates a mechanical and sensory stimulus.
This can:
• Stimulate sensory nerves
• Produce a brief muscle response or twitch
• Influence local physiological responses
• Affect how the nervous system processes signals from the treated area
So, dry needling is more than simply “releasing a tight muscle.”
It creates a series of responses between the muscle, local tissues, and nervous system.
✨ The exact response can vary depending on the technique, tissue being treated, and individual patient.
