Trigger points are tender muscle nodules that can create discomfort locally or refer pain elsewhere. Dry needling targets these points with a fine needle to help the muscle relax and reduce sensitivity. The approach is typically used alongside manual therapy and movement guidance, depending on your presentation. Most clients describe minimal discomfort; a brief twitch response can occur, which is normal.
