Dry needling is a therapeutic technique using a solid filiform needle to penetrate the skin and stimulate the underlying tissue. It is called “dry” needling because there is no solution injected as with a hypodermic needle.
Although dry needling utilises the same needle as acupuncture these treatments are not one and the same.
The main difference being that acupuncture is based on traditional Chinese medicine and needling occurs along the ‘meridian system’, whilst dry needling is based on western neuroanatomy. Interestingly, however, many of the common needle locations are shared by both systems.
Dry needling can be very effective for a variety of soft tissue complaints including tennis / golfers’ elbow, muscle pain and headaches. Book your complimentary, no-obligation initial consultation to discover if dry needling could be the right solution for you.
I am amazed at how effective treatment has been, and I no longer have the pains that I have lived with for many years. I was initially very concerned about the dry needling treatment however the Chiropractor was very understanding, didn’t seem to rush, and explained everything clearly which put me at ease very early on. Dynamic Health were very accommodating in terms of times for my appointments, and the receptionist always found appointment times that suited me. I would recommend Dynamic Health to anyone with pain issues.
