Dry Needling
What is Dry Needling?
‘Dry Needling’ or ‘Medical Acupuncture’ is a modified version of acupuncture which works on the musculoskeletal system. It involves insertion of a fine needle into the muscle/ trigger point to help increase circulation and reduce tightness in the muscle. Our Physiotherapists are highly trained in this technique and have been practicing it for over 8 years.
The primary goals of dry needling are to:
- Relieve Pain: By targeting trigger points and reducing muscle tension, dry needling can alleviate pain and discomfort.
- Improve Muscle Function: The insertion of needles can stimulate muscle fibers, promoting relaxation and improved muscle function.
- Enhance Range of Motion: Dry needling can help improve joint mobility and flexibility.
- Facilitate Healing: Needling may increase blood flow to the affected area, which can aid in tissue healing and repair.
- Reduce Muscle Knots: It is particularly effective in releasing muscle knots or myofascial trigger points.
Dry needling is commonly used to address conditions such as muscle pain, tension headaches, neck and back injuries, sport injuries, chronic pain conditions and joint pain.
