Dry Needling by a Physical Therapist: What You Should Know. Dry needling is a technique physical therapists use (where allowed by state law) for the treatment of pain and movement impairments. The technique uses a âdryâ needle, one without medication or injection, inserted through the skin into areas of the muscle.
Skin needling is known by several names in the medical industry, including Dermarolling, Percutaneous Collagen Induction (PCI), Collagen Induction Therapy, Dry Tattooing and Intradermabrasion. It was pioneered by Dr. Andre Camirand in the late 90s and it is still popular today.
