Dry Needling

Dry needling is a therapeutic technique that involves the insertion of thin needles into trigger points or knots in the muscles to alleviate pain and improve mobility.

This process is designed to stimulate the body's natural healing response, resulting in the relief of tension, pain, and discomfort.

This technique is often used in conjunction with other physical therapy treatments, such as massage and stretching, to provide more comprehensive pain relief and improve overall function.

Dry needling can assist with musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction, and it can be particularly helpful for those with chronic pain and sports injuries. Furthermore,it can help to improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and promote the release of endorphins which can improve overall feelings of wellbeing. Both Callum Campbell and Bethany Cresswell are qualified to perform dry needling as part of their treatment. Dry needling can be used in conjunction with your Osteopathis treatment or as a modality in its own right. Please discuss whether dry needling is suitable for you with your Osteopath at your next visit.
