How Dry Needling May Help You
Dry needling uses fine needles inserted into specific myofascial trigger points. These are usually tight bands of muscle that are causing pain and discomfort.
With this precise needle placement, dry needling aims to relieve muscle tension, reduce pain, and promote circulation. Whether you are living with a chronic condition or recovering from an injury, dry needling may help improve your recovery.

Answering Common Dry Needling Questions
What's the difference between dry needling and acupuncture?
While both use fine needles, they are different practices. Acupuncture is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, whereas dry needling is a Western medicine approach that aims to specifically target myofascial trigger points.
Does dry needling hurt?
Some people may experience mild discomfort during and after a session. The needles are inserted carefully, often producing a small muscle response that may help release tension in the targeted area.
How many dry needling sessions will I need?
This varies depending on your condition and goals. Some people notice improvement after a single session, while others may benefit from several sessions. Your physiotherapist will discuss an estimated treatment plan with you following your initial assessment.
Who is dry needling suitable for?
Dry needling may be suitable for people experiencing muscle tension, chronic pain, or movement limitations.
