What is Dry Needling? 🤔
Dry needling is a safe, evidence-based technique used by physiotherapists to release tight muscles, ease pain, and restore movement. Very fine, sterile needles are gently inserted into trigger points within the muscle. This helps:
✅Reduce tension
✅Improve blood flow
✅Stimulate healing
✅Relieve pain
Unlike acupuncture, which is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, dry needling is based on modern anatomy and neuroscience. It’s often used alongside other physio treatments to get you moving better, faster.
Demonstrated here by our Physiotherapist Rob in this video to help pain relief alongside rehab for ongoing forearm pain.
Many people feel immediate relief and improved range of motion after treatment.
Dani also offers Acupuncture here at North Coast Physiotherapy Group. A treatment originating in traditional Chinese medicine that also involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body to relieve pain and treat various conditions.
