ACUPUNCTURE & DRY NEEDLING

a tried and tested treatment for

PAIN & MUSCLE TIGHTNESS

Medical acupuncture and dry needling is a fantastic treatment option that’s been used for thousands of years to address pain and muscle tightness.

At Resolved Physio we have a decade of experience using needling techniques to address a wide range of conditions and issues.

HOW DOES ACUPUNCTURE WORK?

Acupuncture works on your neural system to influence the way in which your nerves send signals to the brain. Nerves are responsible for sending a signal to the brain that tells you what you are feeling. This is how you sense touch, hot, cold and pain. Sometimes this signalling system gets muddled and your brain can misinterpret safe signals as dangerous. Acupuncture can act like a system reset button.

I came to see Nick after having issues with my hip flexor. I had been trying to fix it myself with exercise, stretching and mobility but didn’t see an improvement. Nick did a great job at tackling the issue from all avenues including personalised advice in terms of stretches and exercises to improve the pain and tightness. We also used dry needling to tackle the tightness that couldn’t be released from the massage. Within a week or two I had already noticed I was feeling less pain and was more mobile. I now know what I need to do in future if I have any other issues so I would highly recommend Nick for any physio treatment due to his personable, professional approach and effective results.

WHEN DOES IT WORK BEST?

In our line of work, acupuncture is primarily used to treat pain. This is where it is most effective. In particular it is best when used to combat constant, chronic or neuroplastic pain. Dry needling is slightly different. This is more mechanical as it is trying to target and reduce muscle tension much like a massage. Dry needling is incredibly effective if we need to reduce muscle tension in a deep muscle.
