Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
* All interventions will be performed by a physical medicine and rehabilitation specialist with clinical experience.
* After each intervention, the needle tip position will be evaluated by a second specialist with \*high-resolution linear probe ultrasound\*.
* Targeted muscles:
* \*Iliocostalis lumborum (ICL)\*
* \*Longissimus thoracis (LT)\*
* \*Multifidus (M)\*
* Interventions will be performed from the right side, between the L2-L5 levels.
* A total of \*three different dry needling applications\* will be performed for these three muscles for each participant.
* When a total of \*20 participants\* is planned, \*60 injection attempts\* will be analyzed.
* Will be used only for post-hoc observational validation purposes.
* No pharmacological agent will be administered during the intervention, only dry needling will be performed.
