Dry needling is one such therapeutic technique that can offer significant relief from various musculoskeletal conditions and help you regain control of your life.
What is Dry Needling?
Dry needling is a specialized treatment that involves the precise insertion of thin, sterile needles into specific trigger points or tight bands within muscles. These trigger points are often responsible for causing pain and discomfort. Unlike acupuncture, which is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine and focuses on balancing energy flow, dry needling is based on modern scientific principles targeting muscular tension and pain relief.
How Dry Needling Works:
During a dry needling session, our skilled physiotherapist will identify the trigger points in your muscles that are contributing to your pain or restricted movement. By inserting the fine needles into these areas, the muscles are stimulated, promoting blood flow and releasing tension. This process helps in relaxing the muscles and reducing pain.
Dry needling can provide rapid relief from acute and chronic pain, helping you regain mobility and functionality.
By targeting trigger points, dry needling enhances muscle function and range of motion.
Dry needling can be used in conjunction with other therapies to optimise results and speed up recovery.
