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.

You may feel a local twitch response when the needle hits a trigger point: a brief, sharp sensation followed by muscle relaxation. Most people experience some muscle soreness for 24–48 hours after treatment, similar to post-exercise soreness.

The insertion of needles stimulates blood flow and cellular repair, however dry needling is likely to cause your muscle to cramp and twitch involuntarily. This is normal, and known as the local twitch response.
