Dry Needling
Dry needling is a specialized technique performed by our trained Physiotherapist and other healthcare professionals. It involves the insertion of a fine needle into targeted muscles to alleviate tension, reduce pain caused by trigger points, and enhance overall muscle function.
This technique can also address mobility issues and improve the range of motion in surrounding joints. By stimulating the muscles with dry needling, tightness is reduced, leading to increased localized blood circulation and pain relief. Moreover, it can effectively target muscle contractures and fascial adhesions, promoting self-healing.
Also known as Intramuscular Stimulation, dry needling does not involve the use of medication. Your physiotherapist employs a sterile, solid needle to provide this treatment. During the procedure, you may experience a sensation of release in your tight and sensitive muscles, with long-lasting results.
Dry needling can be utilized to treat various conditions such as neck pain, shoulder pain, low back pain, osteoarthritis, headaches, tennis elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome, sprains, and strains.
Dry needling is often combined with other techniques, including electrical modalities, exercise plans, and manual therapy, to achieve optimal outcomes after motor vehicle accidents, sports injuries, and work-related incidents.
The number of treatment sessions required depends on the condition of trigger points in your muscles.
