In this episode, Dr. Edwin Serrano and Dr. Danielle Aguila discuss the topic of Trigger Dry Point Needling. They educate us on the reason behind why people get needling along with the contingencies on when it is suggested for someone to pursue this procedure. They dive deep into muscle tightness, recruiting good blood flow, and learning how to self-manage so that patients are not reliant on hands-on treatment.
