Dry Needling
We offer Dry needling treatment that is designed to relieve muscular pain or spasms by inserting monofilament needles (fine, short, sterile, stainless steel needles that don’t inject fluid) directly into muscle trigger points to stimulate healing. These points are usually deep muscle fibres that are “knotted” or “stuck” and cannot be released through manual therapy or movement.
Dry needling aims to promote:
- relaxation of muscle spasm and myofascia trigger points to improve range of motion
- pain relief
- reduction in inflammation
- improvement in healing response
Most patients report a significant improvement in their conditions after only a few sessions. Common conditions it can help with include:
- back pain
- neck pain
- knee pain
- heel pain
- shoulder pain
- sprain and strains
- acute injuries and chronic pain
- bursitis
- osteoarthritis
- tendonitis
- sports injuries
