Dry Needling
Dry needling uses fine needles to target myofascial trigger points, providing rapid relief from muscle pain, tension, and restricted movement.
Introduction
What is Dry Needling?
Dry needling is a modern, evidence-based treatment technique where fine sterile needles are inserted into tight muscle bands or trigger points. This stimulates a healing response, releases muscle tension, and reduces pain. Unlike acupuncture, dry needling is based on western medical principles and targets specific anatomical structures.
Who is it for?
Dry needling is suitable for individuals experiencing muscle pain, tension, or movement restrictions that haven't fully responded to other treatments.

The Journey
What to Expect in Your Session
After assessing your condition, your therapist will identify tight bands or trigger points in affected muscles. Fine needles are inserted into these areas, which may cause a brief twitch response and temporary discomfort. The needles remain in place for several minutes before removal. You might experience mild soreness for 24-48 hours post-treatment, similar to post-exercise soreness.
