Dry Needling
Dry needling is a highly effective therapeutic technique used to relieve musculoskeletal pain and muscle tension. It involves the insertion of fine, sterile needles (similar to acupuncture needles) into specific trigger points or tight spots in muscles. These trigger points are often the source of pain and discomfort, and dry needling works by stimulating these areas to help the muscles relax and release tension.
While the idea of dry needling can seem intimidating to some, many patients find it to be a highly effective and comfortable treatment option. The technique is designed to provide fast relief from pain, improve mobility, and accelerate the healing process. Whether you're dealing with chronic muscle tightness, acute pain, or stiffness, dry needling can be a valuable addition to your treatment plan.
Our physiotherapists are fully trained and qualified in dry needling, ensuring that the technique is performed safely and effectively. When combined with other therapeutic techniques—such as deep tissue massage, joint mobilizations, and exercise therapy—dry needling can enhance the overall effectiveness of your treatment and help you achieve long-term relief.
