It has been used to treat numerous podiatric clinical problems, but is also helpful for discomfort. It involves the insertion of thin & disposable needles into specific pathways, acupoints or trigger points.
Trigger points are hypersensitive area of muscles with a palpable nodule or ‘knot’. They can cause significant pain and movement problems. The aim of the treatment is to relax and release the trigger point, reducing associated pain. Dry needling can also assist in reducing swelling and promote healing.
The needles promote the release of natural pain relievers called endorphins, which help relieve the discomfort associated with painful conditions.
The number of treatments varies from patient to patient & depending on the severity of the condition requiring treatment. It can be used in conditions such as plantarfasciitis & mortons neuroma.
These techniques are safe & practically painless, majority of patients experience no issues from the treatment, however some patients may experience bruising, feel faint or feel worn out after a treatment.
