Trigger Point Therapy & Dry Needling

Trigger point therapy and dry needling refer to the treatment of muscular and myofascial trigger points using acupuncture needles, acupressure, deep tissue massage or laser therapy. Trigger points are irritable and hypersensitive areas which can cause the affected area to shorten, tighten, spasm and become weakened. Causes of trigger points include some of the following:

• Pronation or “flat feet”

• Supination or “high-arched feet”

• Biomechanical abnormality

• Overuse of muscles

• Over stretching of muscles

• Trauma
