Dry needling is a physiotherapy technique that uses fine needles to treat muscle pain and myofascial trigger points. By inserting the needle into the tension point, it provokes an involuntary contraction that helps relax the muscle, reduce pain, and improve mobility. It is effective for sports injuries, contractures, and chronic pain, offering quick results in a few sessions.

Although it may cause mild discomfort, it is generally well tolerated. It is not recommended in cases of needle phobia, coagulation problems, infections, or pregnancy, and should be performed by a specialized physiotherapist.
