Dry needling is a therapeutic technique used by physiotherapists and other qualified practitioners where fine needles are inserted into trigger points (tight muscle knots) to release tension, reduce pain, and restore normal muscle function. Unlike acupuncture, it is based on Western anatomy rather than TCM principles.

Dry needling involves the insertion of fine needles into the skin and muscle tissue to reduce muscular and trigger-point pain.
