Trigger Point Dry Needling
Trigger Point Dry Needling (TDN) is a highly effective treatment technique used by our qualified physiotherapists to relieve muscle pain and tension. This method involves inserting fine, sterile needles into specific muscle trigger points to promote healing, reduce pain, and restore function.
What is Dry Needling?
Dry needling targets myofascial trigger points—tight knots in muscles that cause pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. By stimulating these points, dry needling helps to release muscle tension, improve blood flow, and encourage the body's natural healing response.
Who can benefit?
-
Individuals experiencing chronic or acute muscle pain
-
Those with sports injuries or muscle tightness
-
People suffering from headaches, migraines, or jaw pain
-
Patients with postural-related pain
-
Those recovering from overuse injuries or repetitive strain
How does it work?
​During a dry needling session, fine needles are inserted into trigger points within the affected muscles. This process can cause a ‘twitch response,’ which helps reset the muscle and reduce pain. Unlike acupuncture, which follows traditional Chinese medicine principles, dry needling is based on modern western medicine and evidence-based practice.
Our physiotherapists are fully trained and experienced in dry needling techniques to ensure a safe and effective treatment experience.
