There are two groups of people in the world: those who struggle with sticking needles into their bodies… and those who do it for fun — yes, you with the two full sleeves of tattoos.

Within that wide spectrum of opinions, there is consensus around one method: dry needling. It’s a highly effective technique used by most physiotherapists in the world today for promoting tissue healing and treating myofascial trigger points — that relentless sharp pain in your back that never seems to go away.

How it works

The dry needling process

Dry needling targets trigger points — small, localized areas of tightness in the muscle, linked to neck pain, back pain and headaches. A thin needle inserted directly into the trigger point makes the muscle twitch and then relax, releasing tension and resolving the pain.

It also promotes healing through controlled micro-trauma — small, controlled injuries that trigger the body’s natural healing response and increase blood flow to repair damaged tissue.

Benefits of dry needling

01

Pain Relief

Releases trigger points and relaxes muscle — effective for low back, neck pain and headaches.

02

Range of Motion

Improves flexibility — especially for frozen shoulder or a stiff neck.

03

Faster Healing

Stimulates the body’s healing response for slow-to-heal tendon and ligament injuries.

04

Non-Invasive

No drugs or surgery — a safe alternative to more invasive treatments.

What to expect — side effects

Soreness

Common in the area; usually subsides within a few hours to a few days.

Bruising

Minor bruising or bleeding at the insertion site can occur and resolves quickly.

Infection

Rare — minimised with sterile needles and equipment.

Nerve Damage

A small risk, minimised when performed by a trained professional.
