Fine needles placed into tight, tender trigger points in muscle to release tension and reduce pain.

What it is

Dry needling uses very fine, sterile, single-use needles inserted into trigger points: tight, tender spots within a muscle. It's based on Western anatomy and is different from traditional acupuncture.

It can release muscle tension quickly and is usually combined with massage, manipulation and exercise as part of a wider plan.

What to expect

1

Find the trigger points

Hands-on assessment to locate the tight, tender spots driving your pain.

2

Needling

A brief twitch or ache is normal as the muscle releases.

3

Questions people ask

Can I just book this treatment?

You can, but most people leave it to me. Every session is 45 minutes and the same price, and I'll combine whichever methods your injury needs. You can always say no to any technique.

Do I need a referral from my GP?

No. You can book directly. If I think you need a scan or a GP's opinion, I'll tell you.

What should I wear?

No specific clothing is required

Not sure it's right for you?

Tell me roughly what's going on and I'll recommend the right treatment. I'll get back to you as soon as I'm out of clinic.
