Dry Needling
Dry needling is a therapeutic technique utilised to alleviate muscle pain and tension, targeting various musculoskeletal and neurological conditions, including:
Headaches
Chronic back and neck pain
Sciatic pain
Knee pain
Shoulder pain
Muscle cramps
Sporting injuries
During dry needling, each needle is delicately inserted into the trigger point of a muscle, inducing a minor lesion. This lesion is interpreted by the brain as a minor injury, prompting a cascade of reparative processes aimed at replacing or repairing the affected muscle with new, healthy tissue.
At Brighton Physiotherapy, dry needling may be integrated with additional exercises or treatment modalities as part of your personalized and comprehensive treatment plan.
