I love dry needling! It's helped me so much several times with tendonitis (before I was diagnosed with fibro), and with hip and low back pain too. I'm a runner so I've done it just for regular maintenance of my body. It's basically a similar effect to getting a massage but a deeper, more targeted method of treatment!

Dry needling is good for relieving trigger points but should only be done gently - too aggressive will leave you with a strong and possibly lingering response. I have found acupuncture better for overall achieving less stress in muscles and use dry needling only when things get out of control. i also have massages to tune the muscle tone. You wont get rid of fibromyalgia but you can use a variety of these types of treatments to manage pain and also muscle/fascia flexibility/tone.

I have been told if i have all the trigger point knots released i can get rid of fibromylgia.did your effects last or does the pain come back?
