What is it?
Medical acupuncture, also known as "dry needling," combines the principles of traditional Chinese acupuncture with modern knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and evidence-based medicine.
What does it do?
Dry needling is employed to target tight and irritable bands of soft tissue, commonly referred to as trigger or tender points. Unlike sports massage, which can be forceful on soft tissue, dry needling involves the precise insertion of a thin needle into specific anatomical points that contribute to the patient's symptoms or tightness.

How can it help?
By utilising thin needles, dry needling triggers an inflammatory response within the soft tissue, prompting a secondary healing reaction. This response leads to the release of pain-relieving chemicals, increased blood circulation that transports oxygen and nutrients, ultimately "resetting" problematic areas of soft tissue. Dry needling proves effective in alleviating pain, managing musculoskeletal conditions, and supporting the rehabilitation process.
Some of the additional benefits of Dry Needling include:
Pain management
Dry Needling can effectively reduce acute and chronic pain, including musculoskeletal pain, headaches, migraines, and neuropathic pain.
Rehabilitation support
It aids in the recovery and rehabilitation process by promoting tissue healing, reducing inflammation, and enhancing mobility and range of motion.
Stress reduction
Dry Needling helps alleviate stress and promotes relaxation by stimulating the release of endorphins and regulating the autonomic nervous system.
Improved sleep quality
It can assist in improving sleep patterns, aiding individuals with insomnia or sleep disturbances.
