Types of Dry Needling:

Superficial Dry Needling: This type of dry needling technique involves inserting fine needles up to 10 mm into the subcutaneous tissue. Superficial dry needling offers ease of application, minimizes the risk of tissue damage or nerve injury, and enhances overall patient comfort. It is particularly effective for targeting trigger points in areas such as the neck and shoulders, and promote better mobility.

Deep Dry Needling: Deep dry needling involves inserting needles beyond the subcutaneous tissue to directly target myofascial trigger points within the muscles. This precise technique is especially effective for chronic low back pain, promoting muscle relaxation and improving mobility.

Positive Results and Patient Experiences:

Dry needling physiotherapy has garnered positive feedback from individuals who have experienced significant improvements in their musculoskeletal conditions. These improvements include reduced pain levels, increased range of motion, improved muscle function, and overall enhanced quality of life. Patients have reported relief from chronic pain conditions, improved athletic performance, and a quicker return to daily activities and sports. For example, a patient with chronic neck and shoulder pain may experience a significant reduction in pain and increased mobility after a series of dry needling therapy sessions targeting trigger points in the affected muscles. This improvement enables them to engage in daily activities and work without discomfort. Similarly, athletes with sports-related injuries, such as tennis elbow, may find that dry needling therapy helps alleviate pain, promote tissue healing, and enables a faster return to training and competition
