Dry Needling to reduce muscle tension and pain

One of our specialised services is Dry Needling—a highly effective technique used to relieve pain and improve muscle function in patients with musculoskeletal conditions.

What is Dry Needling?

Dry Needling is a treatment method that targets tight, sore, or knotted muscles, commonly referred to as "trigger points." These trigger points can develop from injury, overuse, poor posture, or stress, leading to pain, tension, and limited range of motion. Dry Needling uses thin, sterile needles inserted into these trigger points to help release tension, reduce pain, and improve muscle function.

How does Dry Needling help?

Dry Needling offers several key benefits for patients dealing with musculoskeletal conditions:

  • Pain Relief: Dry Needling helps disrupt pain signals, providing relief from both acute and chronic pain.

  • Improved Muscle Function: By releasing tight knots and trigger points, Dry Needling can improve muscle flexibility, strength, and overall function.

  • Reduced Tension and Spasms: Dry Needling helps reduce muscle tension, easing stiffness and spasms, which may occur after injury or as a result of chronic conditions.

  • Enhanced Range of Motion: Relaxed muscles and decreased tension allow for greater movement and flexibility, which can improve daily activities, athletic performance, and rehabilitation progress.

This treatment can be beneficial for various conditions, including chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain, muscle strains and sports injuries, tension headaches and migraines, sciatica and nerve-related pain and post-surgical rehabilitation.

What Can You Expect During Your Treatment?

  1. Initial Assessment: We begin with a thorough assessment of your condition to identify trigger points and tailor the treatment to your specific needs.

  2. Dry Needling Treatment: Using very fine needles, we carefully insert them into targeted muscles to stimulate the tissue and promote healing. You may feel a slight pinch or mild discomfort as the needles are inserted, followed by a sensation of muscle release.

  3. Post-Treatment Advice: After your session, we’ll provide guidance on gentle stretches, and any necessary aftercare to maximise the treatment’s benefits.
