Dry needling

Dry needling is a technique that uses fine sterile needles with the goal of decreasing muscular pain, releasing tight muscles, and maintaining muscular health. The needles are inserted into the tight spots of a muscle (known as trigger points), resulting in an increase of blood flow to the area, further aiding the trigger point deactivation and desensitisation. Overall, dry needling is a brilliant technique that stimulates a healing response in the muscular tissue.

Dry needling is effective for:

• Releasing Muscular Spasms

• Shin Splints or Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome
  • Tight muscles (the main cause of Achilles Tendinopathy, Plantar Fasciosis, Sever's Disease and so on)
  • Sore arches (Tibialis Posterior Tendinopathy, Plantar Fasciosis)

• Pain or dysfunction caused by tight muscles

All our Podiatrists are qualified to administer dry needling.
