Study Summary
The goal of this interventional study is to test the effects of trigger point dry needling to the low back in a healthy population. The main aims are to answer: * Is there a change in sensitivity to experimental pain after trigger point dry needling * To determine if there is an association between demographic and psychological factors and immediate changes in pain sensitivity after receiving trigger point dry needling. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups a dry needling group or a sham dry needling group. The dry needling group will receive trigger point dry needling to the lumbar spine. The sham dry needling group will receive needling to the lumbar spine with a sham needle which does not penetrate the skin. In other words, researchers will compare an intervention group and a sham group to see if dry needling has an immediate change in pain sensitivity in response to experimentally induced pain.
Primary Outcome
Participants will indicate when an thermode of ascending temperatures first changes from a sensation of warmth to painful by saying "pain" and indicating the amount of pain with a visual analog scale. This change will be calculated by taking the difference between the two scores.
