Introduction to Dry Needling

Trigger point dry needling for myofasical trigger points or knots in our muscles can be a very effective way to deal with pain, tension and headaches. The following is a video that shows a treatment and the process we use at Cornerstone to treat a difficult trigger point that commonly causes neck, shoulder and headache pain. Utilizing electrical current can enhance our treatment, making it more tolerable, less painful, and even more effective than dry needling alone.
