Similar to traditional acupuncture needles from Chinese medicine, these needles are specifically used for dry needling. Dry needling is a technique that uses thin needles to stimulate specific points on the body. Typically used by Western trained healthcare professionals, the approach and theories behind it are based on Western anatomy and physiology rather than Chinese medicine.
The needles are thin, solid and sterile and are inserted into the skin at various depths to target muscle trigger points that can cause pain and dysfunction. They are usually used as part of a larger physical therapy treatment plan.
