Dry Needling
Dry Needling involves inserting a very thin disposable needle (acupuncture needle) into specific points to help relax the muscle.
Dry needling has a long lasting effect as it can stimulate the body’s natural opioids to be released, it can increase the blood flow to the area to remove inflammation and swelling, and it can relax muscle spasms and stimulate nerve fibres to inhibit the pain response.
Benefits of Dry Needling
Dry needling can be used for localised treatment of tender or painful muscles as it has shown to increase blood flow which can help in correcting muscle dysfunction.
