Dry Needling
Dry needling uses fine sterile needles to target myofascial trigger points — localised areas of muscle hyperirritability that contribute to pain, reduced range of motion, and referred pain patterns. Unlike acupuncture, dry needling is grounded in Western anatomy and neurophysiology. It is particularly effective for chronic neck and back pain, tension-type headaches, plantar fasciitis, and repetitive strain injuries.
What to expect
- —Rapid deactivation of trigger points
- —Reduced referred pain patterns
- —Improved muscle length and flexibility
- —Enhanced response to subsequent exercise therapy
- —Effective for long-standing chronic conditions
