Medical Acupuncture (Dry Needling)

Also known as dry needling: fine, sterile needles placed into trigger points and tight muscles to reduce pain, ease tension and improve how you move, often with immediate results.

The benefits

  • Relieves pain

    Releases endorphins and other natural painkillers.

  • Eases muscle tension

    Helps tight muscles relax so you can move more freely.

  • Speeds recovery

    Promotes blood flow and healing in the treated area.

Is it right for you?

When dry needling works best

It's especially effective for long-standing back, neck or shoulder pain, tight muscles and trigger points, and injuries that haven't responded to other treatment.

Not keen on needles? Anxiety releases stress hormones that can work against the treatment, so just tell us and we'll suggest an alternative.
