What is Dry Needling?
Dry needling is an advanced therapeutic technique that we at Adaptive Physiotherapy & Massage employ to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and relax tight muscles. This treatment specifically targets myofascial trigger points using fine acupuncture needles. It’s a highly effective method for treating a range of issues, including persistent muscle tension, injuries, and functional impairments. Many patients experience immediate relief and significant muscle relaxation following a dry needling session.
Is it safe?
Dry needling is very safe when performed by a trained professional. While it is suitable for most individuals, there are certain conditions—such as diabetes—that may necessitate special considerations. Our physiotherapists are well-versed in these considerations and are committed to ensuring your safety throughout treatment. We use sterile, single-use needles that are safely disposed of after each session. Our team consists of experienced physiotherapists who have undergone specialized training in dry needling to provide you with the highest standard of care.
What conditions can dry needling treat?
At Adaptive Physiotherapy & Massage, dry needling is frequently utilized as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes other physiotherapy techniques such as massage, joint mobilizations, stretching, and strengthening exercises. This integrated approach helps us address a wide variety of conditions effectively.
Dry needling is particularly useful for alleviating pain and improving function in conditions such as:
- Back and Neck Pain: Helps relieve spinal discomfort and improve mobility.
- Shoulder Pain: Effective in managing pain and restoring shoulder function
- Tennis and Golfer’s Elbow: Reduces elbow pain caused by overuse or strain.
- Hip and Gluteal Pain: Aids in reducing discomfort and enhancing movement.
- Knee Pain: Useful in treating pain related to knee injuries or conditions.
- Achilles Tendonitis/Tendonosis and Plantar Fasciitis: Helps in managing pain and speeding recovery in foot and ankle disorders.
- Sciatica: Alleviates nerve pain that radiates from the lower back down to the legs.
- Muscular Strains and Ligament Sprains: Accelerates healing processes and reduces pain
- Chronic Pain: Offers relief for ongoing, persistent pain.
- Athletic Performance and Sports Injuries: Enhances recovery from sports-related injuries and improves overall athletic performance.
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Reduces symptoms of wrist and hand pain.
- Muscle Tears/Strains/Tightness and Bursitis: Helps in relaxing tight muscles and reducing inflammation.
- Arthritis: Effective in managing joint pain and mobility issues.
Dry needling works through several physiological mechanisms. For muscle tightness, it is thought to involve stimulating the trigger points within muscles, inducing a “twitch response” or localized muscle contraction. This response helps the muscle to relax more effectively, thereby reducing pain and tension.

Frequently Asked Question... Will it hurt?
One of the major benefits of dry needling is that it typically causes less discomfort compared to other muscle treatment methods, such as deep tissue massage. Most patients do not feel the needle’s insertion into the trigger point. You might experience a brief twitch or a deep ache that quickly subsides, leading to a feeling of relaxation. Any sensations of dull ache, warmth, or heaviness are generally mild and much less intense than those resulting from more invasive muscular treatments.
Post-treatment, most individuals report little to no soreness, and any tightness or mild ache usually resolves within one to two days—significantly less than what is often experienced after traditional massage or soft tissue therapies.
