The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the immediate effects of stimulating shoulder muscles with an acupuncture needle (dry needling) on people from thirty to forty-five years old with recurrent neck pain. The main questions this trial aims to answer are does dry needling tight shoulder muscles have an effect on: 1. the ability to turn your head with speed and accuracy, 2. your neck mobility, 3. pain, 4. the tenderness in the muscles, 5. change in your everyday function. Participants will be asked to undergo a dry needling intervention, then participants will be asked to complete measurements before and after the including a pain scale, neck mobility, a functional questionnaire, pressure sensitivity and movement time for a repetitive head turning task. Researchers will compare the dry needling to the sham needling to see if there is a change in the measurements pre- and post-intervention.
