Specialised Treatment
Precision intramuscular therapy targeting trigger points deep inside muscle tissue. Fast, effective, and nothing like acupuncture.
What it is
Dry needling (TDN) involves inserting a fine, sterile needle directly into a myofascial trigger point — a hypersensitive contracted band within a muscle that causes local and referred pain.
When the needle reaches the trigger point, the muscle produces a brief local twitch response — an involuntary contraction that resets the affected fibres, improves blood flow, and reduces the neurological sensitisation driving the pain.
How it works
The needle creates a local twitch response— a brief involuntary muscle contraction that releases contracted fibres and resets the nervous system's pain signals.
Acupuncture (TCM)
Does it hurt?
Most patients describe insertion as minimal — far less than a blood draw or vaccination. The twitch response feels like a brief deep ache or cramp lasting 1–2 seconds. Many people are surprised by how comfortable it is.
Conditions treated
01 — NECK & HEAD
Cervicogenic headaches, tension headaches, cervical spondylosis, and whiplash — all respond well to TDN of the upper trapezius and sub-occipital muscles.
02 — SHOULDER
Impingement, rotator cuff tendinopathy, and frozen shoulder. TDN releases the overactive muscles driving impingement and restores movement patterns.
03 — LOWER BACK
Lumbar muscle spasm, piriformis syndrome, and SI joint pain. Among the most consistently effective conditions for dry needling intervention.
04 — SPORTS
Tennis/golfer's elbow, IT band syndrome, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, and hamstring strains — TDN accelerates recovery significantly.
05 — CHRONIC PAIN
Fibromyalgia, chronic widespread pain, and persistent trigger points that have not responded to massage, stretching, or other physical therapies.
06 — JAW & FACE
Temporomandibular joint dysfunction, jaw clicking, and myogenic facial pain. TDN of the masseter and pterygoid muscles can provide rapid relief.
Session walkthrough
We locate trigger points by feel — taut bands in the muscle that are tender to pressure and may produce referred pain when pressed.
A 0.2–0.3mm sterile needle is inserted into the trigger point. You'll feel minimal discomfort — most patients describe it as pressure, not pain.
The muscle produces a brief twitch response — a good sign that the trigger point has been engaged. This resets the contracted fibres.
We follow with manual therapy to reinforce the work, then targeted exercises to retrain the muscle and prevent recurrence.

Everything you need to know about dry needling treatment
No. They both use fine needles, but the theory and technique are entirely different. Dry needling is grounded in Western anatomy and neuroscience, targeting specific trigger points in muscle tissue. Acupuncture is based on Traditional Chinese Medicine and energy meridians.
You may feel a brief muscle cramp or twitch (the local twitch response), which is a good sign the muscle is releasing. Most patients describe it as a strange sensation rather than painful.
Some mild bruising at the needle site is normal and typically fades within 3-7 days. Minor soreness for 24-48 hours post-treatment is also common — this indicates the treatment is working.
Most people notice significant improvement after 1–3 sessions. Acute trigger points often resolve in a single session; chronic or deeply embedded points may require 3–6 sessions as part of a broader treatment plan.
Dry needling is not recommended during the first trimester of pregnancy, for patients on blood thinners without medical clearance, patients with needle phobia, or over areas of infection or lymphoedema.
We recommend avoiding intense exercise on the day of your session. Light walking and gentle stretching are fine. From the following day, resume your normal programme — you may actually notice improved performance.
