What is Dry Needling?
Dry needling is a specialised technique designed to effectively address muscle pain, tightness, and dysfunction. Unlike traditional acupuncture, which focuses on balancing energy flow through the body’s meridian systems, dry needling specifically targets trigger points within muscles and soft tissues. These trigger points are hyperirritable spots that can cause localised pain and refer discomfort to other areas.
During a dry needling session, fine, sterile needles are inserted into these trigger points to stimulate a therapeutic response. This process helps release tension, improve blood flow, and encourage the body’s natural healing processes. By activating these trigger points, dry needling can also help reduce pain and restore optimal muscle function.
Dry needling is typically part of a comprehensive treatment plan that may include other modalities such as physical therapy, massage, or myofascial cupping. At OsteoReset, our trained professionals are dedicated to helping you manage pain and improve your quality of life through tailored dry needling treatments.

What does Dry Needling treat?
Dry needling is an effective therapy for various muscle pain and dysfunction conditions. It targets muscle tension, especially in the neck, back, and shoulders, and is particularly helpful for myofascial pain syndrome by relieving trigger points. Dry needling can alleviate tension headaches by reducing tightness in the upper back and neck. Athletes often use dry needling to recover from strains and overuse injuries, as it enhances blood flow and reduces inflammation.
For chronic pain conditions like fibromyalgia, dry needling can improve muscle function and alleviate symptoms. It also addresses repetitive strain injuries, such as tennis elbow, and aids in post-surgical recovery by enhancing mobility and reducing pain. As part of a personalised treatment plan, dry needling can significantly improve your quality of life.
