What is dry needling?
Dry needling involves placing very fine, sterile needles into selected areas of muscle. It may be used as part of a broader plan to address muscle pain, stiffness and movement. No medication is injected.
Targeted treatment
Needle placement is guided by the area being treated and your response during the appointment.
Clear next steps
You can ask questions, discuss how you feel afterwards and understand what to expect over the next day or two.
