Dry Needling
Dry Needling is a technique that uses fine single-use sterilised needles applied to the musculoskeletal system in order to deactivate myofascial trigger points. A myofascial trigger point is an area in a muscle that is painful when compressed and can cause referred pain, tenderness or motor dysfunction.
Dry needling is commonly used for treating conditions such as fibromyalgia, back pain, headaches and migraine, joint pain, osteoarthritis, inflammatory conditions such as tendonitis, post surgery conditions, and acute or chronic trigger point pain.
