DRY NEEDLING

RELIEVE PAIN, REDUCE MUSCLE TENSION, AND PROMOTE RECOVERY WITH DRY NEEDLING IN SOUTHAMPTON AND TWYFORD, WINCHESTER

Our experienced clinicians use dry needling to target muscle tightness, reduce pain, and restore function. Whether you're dealing with long-standing issues or a recent flare-up, dry needling can be a powerful tool to support your recovery alongside physiotherapy or on its own.

Dry needling is a clinical treatment technique that involves inserting a fine, sterile needle into trigger points—tight or overactive areas in your muscles. These trigger points can cause pain, restrict movement, and refer pain to other areas. By targeting them directly, dry needling helps reduce muscle tension, improve blood flow, and reset the muscle's normal function.

Research shows that dry needling can reduce pain and improve range of movement in both acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions by altering local inflammatory responses and influencing the central nervous system. It’s not acupuncture in the traditional Chinese medicine sense—though similar tools are used, the approach is grounded in Western anatomy and evidence-based practice.

At Choose Health, we often combine dry needling with other hands-on treatments and rehab exercises to get the best outcomes for you.
