Dry Needling

Dry Needling

What Is Dry Needling?

Dry Needling is a specialized, minimally invasive treatment designed to relieve muscle pain and dysfunction. It involves the precise insertion of fine, sterile needles into specific trigger points within the muscles or tendons. This process helps release tight knots, improve blood flow, and activate the body’s natural healing mechanisms, resulting in reduced pain and enhanced muscle performance.

At our clinic, dry needling is performed by trained professionals who assess each patient’s condition to ensure safe and effective treatment. Whether used to address chronic pain, sports injuries, or postural issues, dry needling offers a targeted, evidence-based approach to restoring mobility, promoting recovery, and improving overall physical well-being.

Precise Treatment. Faster Healing. Deep Muscle Relief.

Who Benefits from This Treatment?

Ideal for individuals with

  • Chronic tendon injuries (e.g. tennis elbow, patellar tendinopathy)
  • Deep-seated muscle trigger points
  • Persistent muscle tightness or restricted range of motion

How We Perform Your Dry Needling

Assessment & Planning
Our skilled therapists begin with a thorough assessment to identify areas of muscle tension, trigger points, or tendon irritation contributing to pain or dysfunction. Based on this evaluation, a personalized treatment plan is developed to ensure precise and effective dry needling application.

Needle Insertion & Stimulation
Using a sterile and controlled technique, fine needles are carefully inserted into the identified trigger points or tight muscle bands. This process creates a localized healing response, improving blood flow, reducing muscle tension, and promoting tissue repair.

Post-Treatment Care & Recovery
After the session, you may experience mild soreness or tenderness, which is a normal part of the healing process. Our team provides detailed aftercare instructions and, when needed, follows up with corrective exercises and progressive therapy to support long-term recovery and improved function.

Is It Safe?

Dry needling is considered a very safe procedure when performed by qualified professionals following proper clinical protocols. Mild side effects such as slight bruising, temporary muscle soreness, or fatigue may occur but typically resolve within one to two days.
