Dry needling
Targeted relief for cramped muscles and trigger points.
What does it involve?
Targeting trigger points
With dry needling we use a thin needle to target a cramped muscle (a trigger point) very precisely. The muscle relaxes, blood flow improves and your pain often subsides surprisingly quickly.
- Treatment of trigger points
- Fast relief of muscle pain
- For neck, back and shoulder complaints
- By certified therapists
- Combinable with physiotherapy
- Safe and hygienic
Our approach
What to expect
A needle in the muscle feels different from what you might expect. Often a brief twitch occurs, followed by relaxation. Most people notice a difference after one or a few treatments.
We almost always use dry needling as part of a broader treatment plan, together with exercises and advice, so the complaint is not only relieved but also structurally improved.
