Acupuncture or Dry Needling

Acupuncture, Dry Needling, or Intramuscular Needling, offered at our Gloucester clinic, are effective techniques for achieving decreased pain and improved muscle function.

Myofascial Dry Needling, offered at our clinic in Gloucester, is an effective form of acupuncture.

Myofascial Dry Needling, also known as Trigger Point Dry Needling or Intramuscular Needling, is a technique used to target trigger points in muscles. These trigger points are irritable areas within a muscle that can cause pain and discomfort, both locally and in referred areas. Dry Needling involves the use of solid filament needles, and it does not involve the injection of any substances, which is why it’s called “Dry” Needling.

The goal of Dry Needling is to release the tight muscle bands associated with trigger points, leading to decreased pain and improved muscle function. It can be an effective way to eliminate trigger points and provide long-lasting relief from Myofascial Pain Syndrome.

At our clinic in Gloucester, our Chiropractors often incorporate Dry Needling into their treatment plans to help patients achieve pain relief and improved muscle function. If you’re experiencing muscle pain or discomfort, consider scheduling an appointment with us to explore how Dry Needling may benefit you. You can reach us at 01452 309372.
