What Is Dry Needling
Dry needling is a therapeutic technique that involves inserting fine, 
sterile needles into specific trigger points within muscles. These trigger 
points, often referred to as “knots”, are hyperirritable spots in muscle 
tissue that cause pain, stiffness, and restricted movement. Unlike 
acupuncture, which is based on traditional Chinese medicine, dry 
needling is rooted in Western medicine and modern anatomy.
By targeting these precise points, dry needling helps release muscle 
tension, reduce pain, improve blood flow, and restore normal function. 
At Hillcrestphysio, our physiotherapists use dry needling as part of a 
comprehensive treatment plan tailored to each individual’s needs.

Dry Needling Abbotsford
How Does Dry Needling Work?
During a session at Hillcrestphysio, our physiotherapist carefully inserts fine 
needles into targeted muscles. These needles stimulate the neuromuscular 
system, leading to:
Release of muscle tension – helping tight muscles relax
Improved blood circulation – enhancing tissue repair and healing
Stimulation of pain pathways – reducing sensitivity and chronic pain
Restoration of mobility – allowing patients to move freely without discomfort
Many patients describe a twitch response during treatment, which is a positive 
sign that the muscle is releasing tension.

Yes, dry needling is considered safe and effective when performed by trained 
professionals. At Hillcrestphysio, our practitioners are fully certified, ensuring 
proper hygiene, sterile techniques, and careful application. Side effects are 
minimal, usually limited to slight soreness or bruising, which typically resolves 
within 24-48 hours.
