Dry Needling in Physiotherapy
Did you know that the dry needling technique can be an effective solution to relieve your muscle pain and improve your mobility?
Dry needles, used in physiotherapy, are thin needles inserted into specific points in muscles, tendons, or ligaments to reduce muscle tension, stimulate healing, and improve blood circulation. This treatment is particularly recommended for muscle pain, tendinitis, sprains, torticollis, and headaches. The treatment is typically quick, and many patients report improvement after the first session.
What does a dry needling treatment session in physiotherapy look like?
During the consultation, the physiotherapist begins by assessing the origin of your muscle pain and your medical history. After this evaluation, they identify the specific areas to treat with the needles and other physiotherapy methods. The sensation felt can range from mild discomfort to immediate muscle release, depending on the area treated. The needles generally remain in place for just a few seconds. Since dry needling in physiotherapy is part of a comprehensive treatment plan, the physiotherapist will also use other tools, such as manual therapy or exercises, during the session.
