Dry Needling

Dry needling is a procedure in which an acupuncture needle is inserted into the skin and muscle.It is directed at myofascial trigger points in the muscle(or muscles that are in spasm),a palpable tender nodule in a taut muscle. Muscular spasm can be defined as an involuntary contraction of a muscle or muscle group.Dry Needling is a scientifically proven form of treatment to treat trigger points. Myofascial trigger points are often responsible for complaints of a person with: >Pain with cervical disc lesions >Hip Osteoarthritis >Pelvic pain >Headaches. >Arm pain due to tennis or golfers elbow. >Shoulder restriction. >Hamstring strain. >Buttock and leg pain. >Knee pain. >Calf tightness and muscle cramp. >Ankle sprain. These issues can be as a result of poor posture, work related tension, stress, sporting activity, injuries and poor biomechanics. After a session of dry needling the area that has been treated will feel much more relaxed plus you will feel looser. Offer – please call reception for information on offers.
