Dry Needling

Dry needling

Dry needling is a specialized treatment technique utilized by physiotherapists to alleviate pain, improve muscle function, and promote recovery in individuals dealing with a variety of musculoskeletal conditions. At our clinic, we offer expert dry needling services as part of our comprehensive physiotherapy approach, led by Dr. Avantika Bansal, BPT, MPT, Chief Consultant Physiotherapist with over 5 years of experience. Dry needling involves the insertion of thin, solid needles into specific trigger points or tight bands of muscle tissue, without the injection of any medication or solution. The primary goal of dry needling is to release tension and deactivate hypersensitive areas within the muscle, which may be contributing to pain, dysfunction, or limited mobility.

One of the key benefits of dry needling is its ability to target deep-seated muscular issues that may not be effectively addressed through traditional manual therapies or exercise alone. By stimulating trigger points with needles, physiotherapists can elicit a localized twitch response, which helps to reset muscle tone, improve blood flow, and promote the release of endorphins, the body’s natural pain-relieving chemicals.

Dry needling is particularly effective in the management of various musculoskeletal conditions, including but not limited to, neck pain, shoulder impingement, lower back pain, sciatica, tendonitis, and headaches. It can also complement other physiotherapy interventions by enhancing the effectiveness of manual therapy, exercise programs, and rehabilitation protocols.

Moreover, dry needling is a safe and minimally invasive procedure, with minimal discomfort and side effects reported by most patients. The needles used in dry needling are typically much thinner than those used in traditional acupuncture, making the experience relatively painless for the majority of individuals.

At our clinic, we prioritize patient comfort and safety, ensuring that each dry needling session is conducted with the utmost care and attention to detail. Our physiotherapists are highly trained and experienced in the art of dry needling, employing evidence-based techniques to deliver optimal results for our patients.

Whether you’re seeking relief from chronic pain, recovering from an injury, or looking to enhance your overall well-being, our dry needling services offer a safe, effective, and holistic approach to help you achieve your health and wellness goals.
