Dry Needling is a physiotherapy technique that uses thin sterile needles to target specific areas of muscle tension or trigger points.
No. Although both use thin needles, Dry Needling is a modern physiotherapy technique focused on muscles, movement and pain patterns rather than traditional acupuncture principles.
Most patients feel minimal discomfort. Some may experience a brief twitch sensation or mild soreness after treatment.
It may be used as part of physiotherapy programs for certain muscle-related pain, stiffness, sports injuries and movement limitations.
Sessions usually take around 15–30 minutes depending on the treatment area and your physiotherapy plan.
The number of sessions depends on your condition, symptoms and response to treatment.
When performed by trained professionals using sterile equipment, Dry Needling is generally considered a safe physiotherapy technique.
