Needles in physiotherapy? Yes, and they do good!

Dry needling, also known as physiotherapy puncture with dry needles, is a recognized technique used in physiotherapy to treat muscle pain of myofascial origin. Unlike traditional acupuncture, this method is based on the principles of Western medicine and targets muscle trigger points directly.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The physiotherapist inserts thin needles into tense or painful muscles to induce a reflex relaxation. This can lead to an immediate muscle release, improve local circulation and reduce pain. This technique is often integrated into a comprehensive treatment plan that includes therapeutic exercises, education, and other manual modalities.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF DRY NEEDLING?

• Quick relief from muscle tension
• Reduction of local and referred pain
• Improvement of range of motion
• Faster functional recovery
• Reduction of persistent symptoms (chronic pain, headaches, sports injuries)

WHO IS THIS TREATMENT FOR?

This approach is particularly effective for people suffering from:

• Chronic muscular pain
• Refractory tendinitis
• Back, neck, or shoulder pain
• Tension headaches
• Sports or occupational injuries
