A precise way to ease muscle pain and improve mobility
Dry needling is a modern treatment used to relieve muscle tension and reduce pain. It involves inserting a thin, sterile needle into tight areas of muscle known as trigger points. These are often the cause of ongoing pain, stiffness, or limited movement.
The needle helps to release the muscle and improve blood flow in the area. There are no drugs or injections involved, the technique works by stimulating the body’s natural healing response.
Dry needling is particularly useful for:
- Neck, back, and shoulder tightness
- Headaches linked to muscle tension
- Sports injuries and muscle strain
- Chronic muscular pain
At Brian Harte Physiotherapy, dry needling is only used when it’s appropriate and forms part of a wider treatment plan. For many clients, it can bring quick relief and help speed up recovery.
