Dry Needling Treatment at The Backbone Osteopathy Clinic Southgate & Muswell Hill
What is Dry needling?
Dry Needling is a technique derived from Western scientific and neurophysiological principles. It aims to provide fast and effective pain relief, through the use of fine needles inserted into trigger points and painful, knotted areas in the muscles. This treatment combines the use of medical trigger points and Chinese medicine meridian points providing effective relief from pain and muscle tension.
Most of our Osteopaths at The Backbone Osteopathy Clinic Southgate & Muswell Hill are trained to use this valuable tool in their treatments. The needles can be used to target very specific areas of pain and penetrate deep into these trigger points.
This therapy can assist with the treatment of most musculoskeletal injuries, arthritis or nerve root problems. It’s particularly effective where massage is too painful or not effective enough.
This is a safe treatment. Needles used are all single-use, sterile and disposable.
