At ServiceYourBody.ie Physiotherapy Lucan dry needling is used during most treatments in conjunction with other hands on techniques.  Dry needling requires less energy on behalf of the client and practitioner, dry needling treatments can equal or better the effect of other manual techniques.

Dry needling utilises a solid, filament needle, as is used in the practice of acupuncture. The term dry needling is used to differentiate the use of needling in the west from that of acupuncture.

Dry needling involves the needling of myofascial trigger points to deactivate and help resolve trigger points and associated pain.

There can be less “post treatment tissue soreness” with Dry needling than from other manual therapy interventions. However, do not worry if you do not like needles, they will not be used during your treatment!!!
