Medical Acupuncture & Dry Needling

Looking for effective pain relief and improved tissue function?

Acupuncture and dry needling might be the solution! Both involve inserting thin needles into specific points to:

Acupuncture

• A traditional Chinese practice with over 2,000 years of history.

• Thin needles are inserted at specific points along meridians in the body.

• Aims to balance the flow of “qi” energy, promoting healing.

Dry Needling:

• Similar to acupuncture, but targets “trigger points” in muscles. Trigger points are tight, irritable knots that contribute to pain.

• Inserting a needle into a trigger point helps relax the muscle, reducing pain and improving function.

Benefits of acupuncture and dry needling:

• Reducing musculoskeletal pain

• Speeding up the rehabilitation process

• Reducing inflammation

• Being an alternative to hands-on physiotherapy treatment

• Helping you feel more relaxed

• Promoting sleep

• Reducing stress and anxiety.

Important Note: Acupuncture and dry needling are a complementary treatment, often used alongside physiotherapy after an initial assessment. I’ll work with you to determine if acupuncture is the right fit for your recovery plan.
