Myofascial Dry Needling

Not to be confused with acupuncture, Myofascial Dry Needling is a treatment technique that uses very fine needles to release tight muscles.

Healthy muscles feel little discomfort when the needle is inserted. In muscles that are sensitive and shortened, a brief burning or cramping sensation — known as the muscle twitch response — is usually felt.

Patients soon learn to recognise, and even welcome, this sensation, as it reduces pain and helps restore normal length and function to the muscle.
