Common Questions About Dry Needling
What is dry needling and how is it different from acupuncture?
Dry needling uses fine, solid single-use needles to target trigger points in muscles. It is based on Western anatomical and physiological principles. It does not follow the traditional acupuncture framework.
Will dry needling hurt?
You may feel a brief “twitch” or mild discomfort when the needle is inserted. Some soreness after the session is common. It usually settles within a day or two.
How many sessions will I need?
That depends on your situation. Some people notice improvement after one or two sessions. Others with more longstanding muscle issues may need more. Your therapist will recommend a plan based on your needs.
Is dry needling safe?
When performed by trained physiotherapists using sterile needles, dry needling is generally safe. We always review your medical history first and discuss risks and benefits.
Can dry needling be combined with other treatments?
Yes. It often works better when combined with exercise, manual therapy, stretching or movement training. That helps improve outcomes and maintain results.
