Dry needling

DRY NEEDLING (Western Acupunture)

Dry needling is a treatment that healthcare providers use for pain and movement issues associated with myofascial trigger points. With this technique, a provider inserts thin needles into or near your trigger points. The needles stimulate your muscles, which causes them to contract or twitch.
 

Benefit of Dry Needling

Relaxes Muscles

Inserting acupuncture-like needles into trigger points helps to release tension, easing tight muscles and improving mobility.

Boosts Blood Flow

The treatment stimulates circulation in targeted areas, delivering oxygen and nutrients essential for tissue repair and healing.

Diminishes Inflammation

By promoting better blood flow, dry needling helps to reduce swelling and inflammation, accelerating recovery.

Triggers Natural Pain Relief

This technique activates your body’s natural pain relievers, improves nerve communication, and promotes a healing response for lasting comfort.

Improves Nerve Communication

Dry needling restores proper nerve signalling, enhancing overall muscle function and coordination.

Accelerates Healing

By triggering a localised healing response, the therapy supports tissue regeneration and long-term recovery.
