With deep dry needling the needle goes directly into the myofascial trigger points, eliciting a twitch response, similar to what occurs when the knots are palpated. The twitch response shows that the needle has reached the knot and pain is reduced or relieved immediately. Deep dry needling may trigger a person’s referred pain. For example, dry needling of myofascial trigger points in the sternocleidomastoid muscles (at the side of the neck) may trigger the patient’s migraine. upper trapezius (upper back) or It is to be noted that dry needling can cause some soreness that may last one or two days.
