What does referred pain mean? As we have been discussing dry needling here at Fit 4 Life Physical Therapy and how we plan to use it to help our clients, we wanted to talk a bit more about pain and how it is perceived by the body. Pain can be local to your problem, it can radiate away from the pain, as in issues with pinched nerves, or it can be referred from another area, such as a trigger point in a muscle.
