What is Dry Needling?

  • July 17, 2019
  • Back, Chiropractor, Educate, Health

Dry Needling is a technique utilised by Chiropractors, Physios, Osteos, and Podiatrists, that aims to address and relieve muscle tension.

About the needles

  • Primarily very thin, but the thickness of the needle will vary depending on the muscle it is being inserted into and what the practitioner is trying to achieve
  • Stainless steel
  • Filiform (threadlike) appearance
  • Carry no liquid, nothing is injected

How deep do they go? 
This will vary depending on the muscle involved. Some will be 3-5 mm (into the suboccipital muscles) others may be 100-150mm (into the deep gluteal muscles).
.
How long are they left in for? 
This could range from 3 seconds to 30 minutes. Your practitioner will assess what and how your body is responding .

As a complimentary component of the treatment plan, dry needling can promote recovery and improve performance. Speak to your healthcare professional if you have any questions about dry needling
