What is Dry Needling?
Dry Needling is the treatment of muscle pain using acupuncture needles. Dry Needling works by relaxing the muscle fibres, reducing pain & restoring normal function. It has wide ranging effects including improving joint mobility, restoring muscle strength, reducing muscle pain & even reducing inflamed soft tissue following acute injuries.
What if I don't like needles?
Our therapist is trained to deliver the most effective Dry Needling treatment using minimum intervention. We have many options to moderate pain arising from Dry Needling; these options include the diameter of the needles, depth of insertion, the delivery method, duration of insertion and the type of needle. All of our acupuncture needles are of the highest quality, sterile & are single use.
How will I feel after Dry Needling?
Most patients will respond very favourably to Dry Needling therapy. In the same way that you may feel a degree of soreness after a manual therapy treatment you may also feel sore after Dry Needling. However, soreness should only last for 12-24 hours.
How many treatments will it take to get better?
Your prognosis is dependant on many factors including the length of time you have been complaining of pain, previous treatments, your general health, previous medical history any any medications you might be taking.
Most patients will find benefits from Dry Needling therapy after 3-5 treatment sessions. However, this time period may vary according to the factors mentioned above. Your therapist will discuss the anticipated duration of your treatment with your before proceeding with your recommended management plan.
Can I refuse to have needling & request another treatment option?
Yes. After taking a full case history and examining the area of your pain discomfort, your therapist will discuss the best treatment options for your particular presentation. Before proceeding with any treatment we will ask your written & verbal consent before we commence your treatment plan.
