Dry Needling / Medical Acupuncture — What You Need to Know
What is Dry Needling & How Does it Work?
Dry needling uses a very fine, solid needle placed into a muscle to trigger a natural healing response. The muscle may briefly twitch as the needle releases tension, helping it to relax. This process improves blood flow, eases tightness, and reduces pain and inflammation — making it a powerful tool for injury recovery and ongoing pain management.
What Does Dry Needling Feel Like?
Most people feel little to no discomfort during dry needling. You may notice a small prick as the needle is inserted, and sometimes a brief twitching or tingling in the muscle — a sign that it’s releasing tension. These sensations are short-lived and are often followed by a feeling of lightness and reduced tightness in the treated area.

Your comfort and safety are our priority. All dry needles are medical-grade, sterile, and single-use, ensuring the highest hygiene standards. This is a safe, evidence-based approach to treating muscular issues, carried out by trained professionals so you can feel confident in your care.
