What is Dry Needling?
Dry needling aims to reduce pain, release underlying muscle knots, and improve how your muscles perform and function. It works by encouraging the body’s natural healing response. Fine, sterile needles are inserted into targeted points within tight or overactive muscles, called trigger points, helping to reduce tension and restore healthy movement.
It’s an evidence based technique that targets both the muscular and nervous systems to improve function, reduce sensitivity, and support normal movement patterns. You may sometimes feel a deep ache or a small twitch response during treatment. This is very normal and is often a sign the muscle is releasing.
Here at Elemental Chiropratic Dr Yuleena regularly uses dry needling as part of her chiropractic treatments including:
- Neck Pain
- Headaches
- Migraines
- Lower Back Pain
She also treats areas such as the elbows, wrists, and ankles to help improve mobility, especially for those who are active or spend long hours at a desk. When combined with chiropractic care, dry needling can help enhance overall treatment outcomes.
