Dry Needling involves the use of a fine filament needle to release hyper-irritable knots within a taut band of muscle, commonly known as ‘trigger points’. Trigger points can often be the cause of referred pain. The aim of the technique is to deactivate the trigger point and promote relaxation of the muscles, pain relief and the restoration of normal physiology to the problem muscle.
Dry Needling can provide you with relief from:
- Headaches
- Buttock, thigh or leg pain
- Lower back pain
- Muscular tightness and cramps (e.g. spinal, upper/lower extremity)
- Overuse injuries (eg. tennis elbow, golfers elbow, tendinopathies)
- Postural concerns / strains
- Repetitive strain injuries
- Upper back and neck pain and tension
