Dry needling is a research-based physiotherapy technique used to relieve pain and restore function. Unlike acupuncture, which targets traditional meridian points, dry needling focuses on myofascial trigger points. These tight muscle knots cause pain, limit motion, and disrupt normal function.
Our physiotherapist inserts a fine, sterile needle directly into these trigger points, triggering a localised healing response. This technique restores muscle activity, reduces neuromuscular tension, and improves overall mobility.
At Kinetic Care Physiotherapy & Acupuncture Clinic, we offer dry needling as part of our advanced treatment options to help you recover faster, move better, and live pain-free.
Our licensed physiotherapist is certified in dry needling and combine it with other hands-on techniques and exercise-based rehab to give you a safe, personalized, and effective treatment plan. Whether you're recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain, or looking to boost performance, we’re here to support your journey to better health.
Dry needling helps you to recover faster from injuries by reducing muscle pain, tension and spasms. It improves your blood circulation to promote your natural healing process.
When a dry needling procedure is carried out by an experienced, licensed physiotherapist using sterile, disposable needles, then it is safe. At our Kinetic Care Physiotherapy & Acupuncture Clinic, we ensure all this by following strict hygiene protocols for effective treatment.
You may feel a mild cramp or a pinch. Temporary soreness occurs for 24 to 48 hours.
Acupuncture is based on ancient, traditional Chinese techniques, focusing on meridians and energy flow, while dry needling is based on Western medicine and targets muscle trigger points for pain relief.
The number of dry needling sessions is dependent upon the state of your condition and how fast are your recovery goals. At Kinetic Care, our experienced physiotherapist creates a personalised plan suited to your unique needs. We combine dry needling with our exercise therapy and other therapies to give you optimum results. You will see noticeable improvement after 2 to 4 sessions.
