The dry needling procedure inserts filament-thin, non-medicated (dry) needles into active trigger points, triggering a twitch response that relaxes taut fibers and immediately relieves pain

After an injury, the body releases TB4, which works to reduce inflammation and protect cells and tissues from further damage. The authors go on to explain that TB4s tissue regeneration ability is partially due to its promoting the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis)
Proinflammatory cytokines TNF- and IL1- activate the canonical NF-B pathway that induce the gene expression of cyclooxigenase-2, inducible nitric oxide synthase-3, inflammatory cytokines, and matrix metalloproteinases [75] These changes lead to the damage of TJs, decreased endothelial integrity and increased permeability at the BBB [73, 76], and to neuroinflammation and the development of chronic neurodegenerative diseases such as AD [10, 77]
Regulatory standards for supplement manufacturing are less stringent than those for pharmaceuticals, which contributes to contamination and mislabeling
