Request AppointmentWhat Is Dry Needling?
Contrary to popular belief, dry needling is not acupuncture. While the two therapies share some similarities, dry needling is based on western medical and research approaches.
This treatment provides an environment that promotes the body’s ability to heal while helping reduce pain and muscle tension. During treatment, a sterilized needle is inserted into targeted muscles, tendons, or connective tissue areas.
Dry needling is commonly used to reduce muscular tension, relieve trigger points, improve mobility, and support recovery from injuries or chronic pain conditions.
How Will I Benefit From Dry Needling?
We have discovered that when exercise-based physiotherapy treatments are combined with dry needling, many patients experience meaningful pain relief and improved movement.
After a detailed assessment, our physiotherapists will determine whether dry needling may be an appropriate addition to your personalized treatment plan.
Dry needling is commonly used to help reduce muscle tightness, calm irritated tissues, and support recovery from overuse injuries or chronic pain conditions.

Is Dry Needling Painful?
Many people assume dry needling is painful because of the name. However, the vast majority of our patients report minimal to no discomfort during and after treatment.
Our highly trained physiotherapists focus on making your experience as comfortable as possible while carefully targeting areas contributing to pain or dysfunction.
Some patients experience temporary muscle soreness for up to 48 hours after treatment. This usually resolves naturally and may be eased with heat, cold packs, hydration, and gentle movement.
