Dry needling can be divided into categories in terms of depth of penetration: deep and superficial dry needling. [4] Deep dry needling will inactivate myofascial triggers points by provoking a local twitch response (LTR), which is an involuntary spinal cord reflex in which the muscle fibers in the taut band of muscle contract.
Activation of trigger points may be caused by a number of factors, including acute or chronic muscle overload, activation by other trigger points (key/satellite, primary/secondary), disease, psychological distress (via systemic inflammation), homeostatic imbalances, direct trauma to the region, collision trauma (such as a car crash which stresses many muscles and causes instant trigger points ...

A 2017 systematic review on dry needling effectiveness over a wide range of body regions [1] reported positive impacts from dry needling on a wide array of body regions. The aim of this review was to determine how effective trigger point dry needling was based on high-quality randomized control trials for all body areas rather than a specific ...
