Dry Needling FAQ
Does dry needling hurt?
Most people feel a brief, mild ache or twitch when the needle reaches a tight muscle band — this is usually a good sign the target has been reached. Discomfort is typically short-lived and manageable.
Is dry needling the same as acupuncture?
They use similar needles, but the approach differs. Dry needling is grounded in musculoskeletal anatomy and targets specific trigger points to relieve muscular tension, rather than following traditional acupuncture meridians.
How many sessions will I need?
This depends on how long you've had the tightness and how your body responds. Some people notice a difference after one session, while chronic patterns may need several sessions alongside exercise.
Is dry needling safe?
Yes, when performed by a trained physiotherapist using sterile, single-use needles. A thorough assessment beforehand helps determine whether it's appropriate for your condition.
