DRY NEEDLING
This involves the use of Eastern ‘hardware’ (acupuncture needles) within the Western Musculoskeletal model.
This modality has been a valued addition to the modern Physiotherapists’ ‘tool-kit’. It is only used after informed consent from the patient, for the following main applications:
Release of trigger points and tight myofascial bands. Very useful in tight shoulder muscles (trapezii), tight rotator cuff, tennis elbow, spinal muscles, gluteals, hip flexors, hamstrings and calf muscles.
Tendon pathology (tendinopathy) where it is believed to stimulate the release of blood and cell products that can stimulate a healing response.
Bursitis. Needling helps to reduce swelling and pressure within the Bursa and helps to relieve pain
