Dry Needling Corrimal
Target tight muscles and reduce pain with precision.
Dry Needling
At Corrimal Chiropractic Clinic, we offer dry needling as a safe and effective treatment technique to help relieve muscle tension, improve mobility, and support your overall recovery. It’s a powerful complement to chiropractic care and can be particularly helpful for conditions involving chronic muscle tightness or trigger points.
What is Dry Needling?
Dry needling involves inserting very thin, sterile needles into specific points in the muscles — commonly known as trigger points — to release tension, reduce pain, and restore function. Unlike acupuncture, which is based on traditional Chinese medicine, dry needling is grounded in Western anatomical and neurophysiological principles.
What Can Dry Needling Help With?
Dry needling may benefit people experiencing:
- Muscle pain or tightness
- Headaches and migraines
- Neck and back pain
- Shoulder pain (e.g. rotator cuff issues)
- Hip and gluteal pain
- Sports injuries
- Tendinopathies (e.g. tennis elbow)
- Postural strain or overuse injuries
How Does It Work?
When a dry needle is inserted into a trigger point, it can cause a local twitch response — this helps release the knot and relax the muscle. It may also stimulate blood flow, reduce inflammation, and encourage the body’s natural healing processes.
Is Dry Needling Painful?
Most patients feel only a brief pinch or muscle twitch when the needle is inserted. Some mild soreness afterwards is normal and usually settles within a day or two. Many people notice improved movement and reduced pain shortly after treatment.
