Certified Trigger Point Dry Needling

Not to be confused with acupuncture, dry needling is a highly effective myofascial release technique that we often use in conjunction with other physiotherapy treatments.

Trigger points are knotted areas in the muscle that can cause pain, stiffness and restrict movement. Dry needling is used to relax the tissues and release tension by the use of fine metal needles inserted directly into the muscle. The treatment helps increase blood flow to the area and return your muscle to its normal state.

This minimally invasive treatment often provides immediate relief and in many cases can speed up the healing process and treat multiple areas in a single session, leading to less appointments needed.

Dr Woods has particular expertise in using dry needling in the treatment of concussion, migraine, vestibular therapies and pain management.
