A Mermaid Beach Dry Needling expert
Dry needling is a therapeutic technique that involves inserting thin, solid needles into specific points on the body, called trigger points or myofascial trigger points, to relieve pain and muscle tension. Unlike acupuncture, which is based on Traditional Chinese Medicine principles, dry needling is rooted in modern Western medicine and focuses on the musculoskeletal system.
The aim of dry needling is to release trigger points, which are areas of tightness and hypersensitivity in muscles, fascia, and other connective tissues. These trigger points can cause pain and other symptoms, as well as limit range of motion and function. By inserting a needle into a trigger point, the therapist can stimulate a twitch response in the muscle, which helps to release tension and improve circulation.

Pain Relief
Dry needling is a highly effective treatment for pain relief. The technique involves the insertion of fine needles into trigger points or areas of muscle tension to help alleviate pain and discomfort. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing chronic pain, such as those with fibromyalgia or back pain.
Range of motion & Flexibility
Dry needling can help to improve flexibility and range of motion in affected joints. By reducing muscle tension and trigger points, the technique can help to restore proper joint movement and function. This can be particularly helpful for athletes or individuals who engage in regular physical activity, as improved range of motion can lead to better performance and reduced risk of injury.
Reduced muscle tension
Dry needling can help to release tension and stiffness in muscles, improving overall muscle function and reducing the risk of injury. The technique can be particularly effective for individuals with muscle imbalances or those who have sustained an injury that has led to muscle tension and stiffness.
Improved circulation
Dry needling can stimulate a healing response in affected tissues, which can help to improve blood flow and promote the healing process. This can be particularly helpful for individuals with chronic injuries or conditions that have affected blood flow to the affected area.
Muscle activation
Dry needling can help to activate and recruit specific muscle fibres, improving muscle function and strength. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals who have experienced muscle weakness or atrophy due to injury or illness.
Reduced inflammation
Dry needling can help to reduce inflammation in affected tissues, which can contribute to improved healing and pain relief. The technique can be particularly effective for individuals with conditions such as tendonitis or arthritis, where inflammation is a key contributing factor to pain and discomfort.
