Dry Needling Abbotsford Hillcrest 
                     
What Is Dry Needling
Dry needling is a modern, evidence-based treatment technique that 
targets muscular pain and dysfunction. At Hillcrestphysio, our team of 
certified professionals uses dry needling to release myofascial trigger 
points, improve blood circulation, reduce muscle tension, and accelerate 
recovery. This minimally invasive procedure involves inserting fine, sterile 
needles into tight bands of muscle, promoting natural healing and 
neuromuscular rebalancing.
Dry needling is not acupuncture. While both use thin needles, dry 
needling is grounded in Western medicine principles and focuses on 
treating musculoskeletal issues such as chronic pain, stiffness, and 
athletic injuries.

Dry Needling In Abbotsford
Conditions Treated With Dry 
Needling
Dry needling is an effective therapy for a wide range of neuromuscular conditions, including but not limited to:
1. Chronic Back and Neck Pain
Muscle knots and spasms are common in people with sedentary lifestyles or repetitive strain. Dry needling helps break up 
tight muscle fibres, providing relief from tension and increasing range of motion.
2. Sports Injuries
Athletes in Abbotsford trust Hillcrestphysio for fast recovery and performance optimization. Dry needling accelerates healing 
of strained or overused muscles, reducing downtime and enhancing recovery.
3. Headaches and Migraines
Tension headaches often originate from trigger points in the shoulders and upper back. By addressing the source of pain, dry 
needling provides lasting relief without dependency on medications.
4. Sciatica and Nerve Pain
Dry needling can help reduce nerve compression and alleviate radiating pain, especially in the lower back, glutes, and legs. It 
also helps improve mobility and restore function.
5. Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Dysfunction
Jaw tension and facial pain often stem from trigger points. Dry needling relaxes tight facial muscles and reduces inflammation 
around the temporomandibular joint.

What to Expect During a Dry 
Needling Session
At Hillcrestphysio, your comfort and safety are our top priorities. Here's what you can expect:
Initial Assessment
A thorough assessment of your medical history, symptoms, and physical function is conducted to 
determine the appropriateness of dry needling.
Treatment Process
Using single-use, ultra-thin needles, our physiotherapist will target the specific trigger points or tight 
areas. You may feel a slight prick or twitch, which is a positive sign that the muscle is responding.
Post-Treatment Care
You may experience mild soreness for 24–48 hours, similar to post-workout fatigue. We provide 
detailed aftercare instructions and recommend gentle movement and hydration.
Follow-Up Plan
Based on your progress, we adjust the treatment plan and incorporate strengthening exercises and 
supportive therapies.
