Dry needling, sometimes referred to as ‘clinical or Western acupuncture,’ uses solid filament needles to treat a range of conditions.
It is a specialised area of Physiotherapy which requires further qualification and expertise to utilise.
Our practice has built our expertise over time with dry needling to help individuals restore muscle function, improve healing and restore normal tissue function.
Combination of Dry Needling and Physiotherapy can be extremely useful for people with:
- Lower back pain
- Muscle tightness
- Headaches and migraines
- Sports conditions - e.g. Tennis elbow
