What Is Dry Needling?

Dry needling is a targeted technique that involves inserting ultra-thin needles into muscle “knots” or trigger points. This stimulates blood flow, reduces muscle tightness, and promotes healing on a deep tissue level. Unlike acupuncture, which is based on traditional Chinese medicine, dry needling is rooted in modern anatomical science and is often combined with physiotherapy.

Chronic muscle tension and knots

Especially in areas like the shoulders, back, neck, or calves.

Headaches or jaw tension (TMJ)

Trigger point release can ease pain radiating from the neck, jaw or upper back.

Sports and gym-related muscle strain

Accelerates healing in overused or strained muscles.

Sciatica and nerve-related pain

Helps relieve referred pain by targeting the muscles compressing surrounding nerves.

Movement restrictions

Improves mobility and flexibility in stiff or overworked muscles.

What to Expect During Your Dry Needling Session

  • Initial Assessment
    Your therapist will assess your pain points and determine which muscles need to be targeted.

  • Needling Technique
    Fine, sterile needles are gently inserted into trigger points to release tight bands of muscle.

  • Muscle Reset
    You may feel a mild twitch response — a sign the muscle is relaxing.

  • Aftercare
    Post-treatment soreness is normal and temporary; we’ll provide guidance on stretching, hydration, and follow-up care.
