Have you felt persistent muscle pain that doesn’t improve with massage or stretching? It may be myofascial trigger points—small areas of tension that generate local and referred pain. At Healing Hands, we use dry needling as an advanced technique to relieve these discomforts and restore function.

What is Dry Needling?
Dry needling is a minimally invasive technique that involves inserting thin needles (similar to acupuncture needles) into myofascial trigger points to deactivate them. No medication is injected; the goal is to provoke a local response that reduces tension and pain. This procedure is evidence-based and performed by certified physiotherapists, ensuring safety and effectiveness.
