At Albany Physiotherapy Clinic, we offer dry needling as a non-invasive treatment designed to reduce pain and muscle tightness. All our physiotherapists are trained in dry needling, and if chosen to be a part of your treatment, are included in the consultation fee (no extra cost).
Dry needling is a manual therapy treatment option that targets trigger points and tight knots in muscles that cause discomfort and restricted movement. Using fine, sterile needles, the physiotherapist stimulates these areas to enhance blood flow, reduce muscle tenderness/stiffness and support rehabilitation.
Dry needling is based on modern physiotherapy principles and is often used alongside other physiotherapy services to support long-term pain management. Our physiotherapists always ask for patient consent to dry needling, as we understand that not all conditions or individuals will respond to treatment.
If one dislikes the idea of needles inserted into muscles, that is okay, as we also have other techniques to treat muscle tightness.
Dry needling is effective for a wide range of conditions, including:
Every patient receives a thorough examination to assess their condition and determine the best treatment plan. Dry needling is often combined with exercise therapy, manual therapy and strapping/taping to ensure a full understanding of the injury and a holistic approach to reducing pain.
After dry needling, some local soreness on the insertion site may occur, but most clients experience rapid improvements in flexibility and pain reduction.
Located in Albany, our clinic provides expert therapy for patients recovering from injuries and seeking effective pain relief. Whether you’re an athlete, a gym-goer, or simply looking to improve mobility, our team is here to help.
