This is a modern form of acupuncture that targets trigger points in specific muscles. It
involves the insertion of fine acupuncture needles into trigger points or tight bands of muscles around the body and is used to eradicate these points in the muscle system swiftly and effectively. Trigger Points develop in muscles under tension and stress causing dysfunction, weakness and pain. Dry Needling can physically break down the trigger points, ‘resetting’ the muscle and allowing for full strength and range of movement to return.
Myofascial Dry Acupuncture Needling is very effective in treating chronic pain, headaches and migraines, sports injuries; including knee, ankle, elbow and shoulder pain, chronic muscular tension and pregnancy pain. It can be used in conjunction with Osteopathy or as an individual treatment.
