Our treatment approach
What dry needling is
Very fine, single use sterile needles inserted into muscle trigger points to release tension and reduce pain. It is different from acupuncture.
When we use it
As part of a broader treatment plan for musculoskeletal pain, alongside manual therapy and exercise.
What to expect
A brief, mild discomfort during needling and a possible local muscle twitch, followed by lasting relief for many patients.
Safety first
Dry needling is only performed by physiotherapists trained and certified in the technique.
