Dry Needling for Muscle Tension

Dry Needling for Muscle Tension

Dry Needling is a precise and effective technique for treating deep muscular pain, contractures, and trigger points responsible for chronic tension. By inserting fine needles into specific points within the muscle, it promotes the release of contracted fibers, improves local circulation, reduces inflammation, and restores functional mobility. Unlike traditional acupuncture, Dry Needling is based on neuromuscular principles and is often integrated into osteopathic and physiotherapy treatments for rapid, long-lasting results. At Image, this therapy is recommended for those suffering from neck tension, lower back pain, sports-related or postural discomfort. It offers a modern, personalized approach to relieving pain and supporting recovery, fully aligned with our Longevity philosophy.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is Dry Needling and how is it different from acupuncture?

    Dry Needling is a therapeutic technique that uses thin needles to release muscle tension and trigger points, reducing pain and stiffness. Unlike acupuncture, which is based on traditional Chinese medicine, Dry Needling has a scientific and musculoskeletal approach, aimed at treating pain and myofascial dysfunction.

    Who is Dry Needling recommended for?

    It's ideal for those suffering from chronic or acute muscle pain, contractures, tendinitis, myofascial syndrome, lower back pain, neck pain, and postural imbalances. It's particularly effective for those with persistent muscle tension that hasn't been resolved through massage or traditional physiotherapy.

    Is Dry Needling painful?

    The treatment may cause a sensation of momentary muscle contraction, followed by deep relaxation. The intensity of discomfort varies from person to person, but the beneficial effects are generally immediate and long-lasting.

    Does Dry Needling help with back pain and neck pain?

    Yes, Dry Needling is very effective in releasing deep contractures responsible for back pain, lower back pain, neck pain, and muscle stiffness, improving mobility and reducing pain.

    Is Dry Needling safe?

    When performed by a qualified osteopath, the treatment is safe and minimally invasive. Single-use sterile needles minimize any risk. It is not recommended for pregnant women, people with blood clotting problems or skin infections.

    Can I combine Dry Needling with other treatments?
