Acupuncture/Dry Needling
Dry needling is a treatment technique used by chiropractors, physiotherapists, and other trained healthcare professionals. It involves inserting thin, sterile, single-use needles into specific areas of muscle known as trigger points (tight, painful knots) or into dysfunctional soft tissue. Unlike acupuncture, which is based on traditional Chinese medicine, dry needling is rooted in modern anatomy and physiology, focusing on reducing pain and restoring normal muscle function.
How it can help
- Pain relief - Helps move excess fluid from tissues back into circulation.
- Improved mobility - Reduces muscle tightness and sensitivity by releasing trigger points.
- Injury recovery - Stimulates blood flow and tissue healing in injured areas.
- Reduced muscle tension - Helps calm overactive or spasming muscles.
- Enhanced rehabilitation - Often used alongside exercise and manual therapy to speed recovery.
