Dry needling is a common treatment for musculoskeletal conditions such as neck pain.
Dry needling by physical therapists typically targets myofascial trigger points and focal, hypersensitive spots in a palpable taut band of muscle.
Myofascial trigger points are prevalent in patients with neck pain and are associated with range-of-motion restriction, neck pain, headache, and dizziness.
Emerging evidence suggests that dry needling of MTrPs may be effective in the short term and medium term to treat neck pain and other musculoskeletal conditions.
The most effective physical therapy treatments for neck pain include exercises that strengthen the neck, scapulothoracic region, and shoulder and manipulation and mobilization of the thoracic spine along with cupping and dry needling.
