Summary

Determine the effect of dry needling using a 32 gauge needle on active trigger points in subjects with chronic myofascial pain.

Participants will receive treatment for active trigger points (3 on successive weeks) and will have pain, status of the trigger point and functional measures assessed at baseline, after treatment and eight weeks later.
