Dry Needling

Dry Needling is an amazing technique utilised by all of our physiotherapists and chiropractors in clinic. It is especially useful when treating conditions that are particularly sensitive or would benefit from an increase in blood flow to the area.

When using Dry Needling, the practitioner inserts short, thin, stainless steel needles into trigger points (better known as knots) in the affected muscle or surrounding soft tissue. Overall, what makes needling effective is it stimulates the nervous system to settle, increases blood flow which promotes healing and reduces spasm in the tissue where it is inserted.
