Relief through Needles: How Dry Needling Can Alleviate Your Chronic Low Back Pain

Pain may arise due to myofascial pain syndrome

Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is a regional pain disorder characterised by the presence of trigger points (TrPs) within muscles or fascia. It is a common source of pain in primary care or pain clinics


At least 1 in 3 people who report to pain clinics have a trigger point from myofascial pain syndrome


the two things we use to diagnose trigger points are:

  • presence of a hypersensitive spot in the taut band, and

  • referred pain sensation elicited by stimulation of the point.


Here's what a 2024 research review found about how dry needling can help your lower back pain


The main findings of this review were:

  • Dry needling can decrease post-intervention pain intensity and pain disability when compared to other treatments

  • The results vary at follow-up

  • A combination of dry needling plus other treatments can be better than dry needling monotherapy

  • Larger needles are more effective when compared to fine needles

  • Dry needling can increase spinal mobility measures and quality of life after treatment.
