Dry Needling

At Peak Physiotherapy & Wellness we are proud to offer both traditional acupuncture, as well as dry needling as apart of our comprehensive treatment plans. Our highly skilled and certified physiotherapists utilize this evidence-based method to effectively address a variety of musculoskeletal and neuromuscular conditions to promote optimal healing.

What is Dry Needling Acupuncture?

Dry Needling is an acupuncture technique that involves the insertion of fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body to stimulate the underlying myofascial trigger points, muscles, and connective tissues. Unlike traditional acupuncture, which is rooted in Chinese medicine and focuses on balancing energy flow, dry needling is primarily based on Western neuroanatomy and aims to release muscle tension, decrease muscle knot size, and reduce pain.

Why Choose Dry Needling Acupuncture at Peak Physiotherapy & Wellness?

1. Targeted Muscle Relief:

Our experienced physiotherapists use Dry Needling Acupuncture to target trigger points—tight bands of muscle fibers that can cause pain and dysfunction. By inserting thin needles into these points, we promote muscle relaxation, improved blood flow, and trigger the release of natural pain-relieving chemicals, providing targeted relief for various musculoskeletal issues.

2. Complementary to Physiotherapy:

Dry Needling Acupuncture is often used in conjunction with traditional physiotherapy techniques to create a comprehensive and customized treatment plan. This integrated approach enhances the effectiveness of therapy, addressing both the symptoms and underlying causes of pain or discomfort.

3. Rapid Pain Relief:

One of the key benefits of Dry Needling Acupuncture is its ability to provide rapid pain relief. Many patients experience a reduction in pain and improved mobility in as few as one session. This makes it an excellent option for individuals seeking efficient and effective solutions for acute or chronic pain conditions.

4. Individualized Treatment Plans:

At Peak Physiotherapy & Wellness, we recognize that each patient is unique, and so are their health needs. Our physiotherapists conduct thorough assessments to determine if Dry Needling Acupuncture is an appropriate treatment for your specific condition. If deemed suitable, we integrate it into a personalized treatment plan designed to address your goals and promote long-term well-being.
