Dry needling is the use of sterile, one time use needles applied to tight muscles to decrease tension and stimulate changes in movement and tissue physiology. It is restricted to soft tissue effects and not the involved systemic effect of acupuncture.
Only physiotherapists who are qualified via post graduate dry needling courses will use this technique. All the physios at Castlereagh physio are trained in this technique.
If you feel uncomfortable with this type of therapy, our therapists will not use it as part of your treatment plan.
