Dry needling is a physiotherapy technique used to relieve muscle pain and tension by targeting myofascial trigger points, commonly known as “muscle knots.” Performed by suitably trained physiotherapists, it differs from acupuncture and can help reduce pain, improve muscle function, and restore movement. Following a thorough assessment, your physiotherapist will determine whether dry needling is appropriate for your condition, considering any medical contraindications. While the treatment may cause mild soreness for a day or two, many patients experience significant pain relief and improved function.
