Dry Needling In Abbotsford - Hillcrestphysio
                     
What is Dry Needling
Dry needling is a highly effective treatment for muscle pain, stiffness, 
and mobility issues. It involves inserting thin, sterile needles into trigger 
points—tight bands of muscle that contribute to pain and dysfunction. 
This technique is used to release muscle tension, improve blood flow, 
and enhance overall mobility.
At Hillcrestphysio in Abbotsford, we specialize in dry needling therapy, 
offering our patients an evidence-based solution for various 
musculoskeletal conditions. Whether you’re an athlete recovering from 
an injury or an individual dealing with chronic pain, our expert 
physiotherapists are here to help.

Benefits of Dry 
Needling
1. Reduces Muscle Pain and Tension Dry needling helps relieve tight knots in muscles, 
improving movement and reducing pain levels. It is particularly effective for treating 
chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia, myofascial pain syndrome, and tension 
headaches.
2. Improves Range of Motion Muscle stiffness can severely limit mobility. Dry needling 
helps release muscle knots, allowing for greater flexibility and enhanced movement, 
making it a preferred treatment for athletes and fitness enthusiasts.
3. Accelerates Recovery from Injuries Whether you suffer from a sports injury, whiplash, 
or repetitive strain injuries, dry needling can stimulate the body’s natural healing process 
and reduce inflammation.
4. Reduces Dependence on Pain Medications Many people rely on painkillers to manage 
chronic pain. With dry needling, we aim to provide natural pain relief, minimizing the need 
for long-term medication use.

How Dry Needling 
Works
Our licensed physiotherapists use sterile, single-use needles to target trigger points within muscles. Unlike 
acupuncture, which follows traditional Chinese medicine principles, dry needling is a science-based 
technique that specifically targets muscle dysfunction and pain pathways.
The Dry Needling Process at Hillcrestphysio:
Assessment:
A thorough evaluation of your pain points and muscle tightness.
Identification of trigger points causing discomfort.
Treatment:
Insertion of ultra-thin needles into muscle knots.
Stimulation of neuromuscular responses to release tension.
Patients may experience a twitch response, which signals muscle relaxation.
Post-Treatment Care:
Patients may feel soreness, similar to post-exercise fatigue.
Recommended stretches and exercises to enhance recovery.
Hydration and rest to maximize treatment benefits.
