What it is

Dry needling uses fine sterile needles to release myofascial trigger points, the taut knots in muscle that refer pain elsewhere. It is a Western technique based on muscle anatomy, not on acupuncture meridians.

It is most useful for stubborn muscle pain that hands-on release keeps improving only temporarily.

Symptoms we see

Tender knots that reproduce your familiar pain when pressed
Pain referred away from the tender spot
Muscle tightness that returns days after massage
Restricted range caused by muscle rather than joint
Tension headaches from neck and shoulder trigger points

Common causes

Sustained postural overload
Repetitive strain from work, gym or sport
Muscle guarding around a painful joint or nerve
Old injuries with residual tightness
Stress-related chronic muscle tension

Our approach

Assessment: Trigger point mapping with palpation, confirmation that the referral pattern matches your symptoms, screening for contraindications such as bleeding disorders, and consent before treatment.
Treatment: Single-use sterile needles placed into the trigger point to produce a twitch response, followed by stretch, movement and strengthening of the treated muscle.
Home program: Post-needling stretches, hydration advice and a strengthening plan so the trigger point does not reform.

Techniques used

Trigger point needling

Direct needling of the taut band to elicit a twitch and release.

Superficial needling

A gentler approach for very irritable or sensitive areas.

Post-needle stretch

Immediate lengthening of the released muscle to lock in the gain.

Combined electrotherapy

TENS or IFT afterwards for lingering soreness where needed.

Strength follow-up

Loading the muscle so it stops becoming overloaded again.

Frequently asked questions

Is dry needling the same as acupuncture?

No. The needles are similar but dry needling targets specific muscle trigger points based on anatomy, not traditional acupuncture points.

Are the needles reused?

Never. Single-use sterile needles are opened in front of you and disposed of in a sharps container immediately after.

How many sessions are needed?

Often two to four, spaced several days apart, alongside stretching and strengthening.
