Dry Needling Physiotherapy

• Dry Needling Physiotherapy: Support for Muscle Pain and Movement
• What is Dry Needling?
• ✅Dry needling is a treatment technique used by physiotherapists to help with muscle pain and movement. It involves inserting thin, sterile needles into trigger points, or knots, within the muscles, which may help release tension and ease discomfort. Unlike acupuncture, which is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, dry needling is based on modern Western medicine principles, focusing on musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction.

• ✅Fibromyalgia and chronic pain conditions
• What to Expect During a Dry Needling Session
• ✅During your session, a licensed physiotherapist will assess your condition and identify trigger points. The needles are gently inserted into the affected areas, causing a slight twitch response, which indicates muscle relaxation. Many patients experience minimal discomfort, and some report that their pain eases following treatment.
• Is Dry Needling Safe?
• ✅Dry needling is generally considered safe when performed by a trained physiotherapist, but like any treatment it carries some risks, which your physiotherapist will explain before treatment. The needles used are sterile, single-use, and very thin, minimizing any risk of infection or discomfort. Some patients may experience mild soreness post-treatment, which usually subsides within 24-48 hours.
