Dry Needling

Dry needling is a form of physical therapy that involves the insertion of thin, solid filiform needles into the skin and underlying tissues. It is used to treat a variety of conditions, including chronic pain, muscle tension, and trigger points. Dry needling works by eliciting a local muscle twitch response, which can help to reduce pain, improve range of motion, and enhance physical function.

During a dry needling session, a physiotherapist will use a needle to target areas of tight muscle fibers called trigger points, which are often associated with pain and discomfort. The needle stimulates the trigger point, causing a local muscle twitch response, which can help to relieve pain and improve function. Dry needling is also stimulates the nervous system, promotes healing and reduces inflammation. It has been shown to be effective in the treatment of a variety of conditions, including back pain, neck pain, headaches, and sports injuries. It is also often used in conjunction with other physical therapy techniques, such as exercise therapy, to enhance the effectiveness of treatment.
