Dry needling is a specialized physiotherapy technique that uses thin, sterile needles inserted into specific trigger points, tight muscles, and dysfunctional tissues. The goal is to release muscle tension, reduce pain, improve circulation, and restore normal movement patterns. Unlike acupuncture, which is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, dry needling is based on modern anatomical and neurophysiological principles. Physiotherapists use detailed knowledge of muscle structures and movement mechanics to identify problem areas and apply targeted treatment. At Carecophysio, our experienced practitioners carefully assess each patient before creating a personalized treatment plan that incorporates dry needling when appropriate.
