Fine-needle muscle therapy
Dry needling in Zakynthos
Fine needles placed into points of muscle tension, with no medication.
In short
In dry needling, the physiotherapist inserts very fine needles into points of tension within the muscles. It's called “dry” because nothing is injected. Although it looks similar to acupuncture, it's based on muscle anatomy and the physiotherapist's assessment.
How it works
The needle targets knots of muscle tension (trigger points), which often cause pain on the spot or refer it elsewhere. The muscle's local response may help it relax and reduce pain.
Commonly used for
- Muscle pain and tightness
- Neck and shoulder pain
- Lower back and buttock pain
- Tension headaches
- Muscle overload in athletes
What to expect in a session
The needles are sterile and single-use, and you'll usually barely feel them go in. You may notice a brief muscle twitch, then mild soreness, like after a workout, for a day or two. Before we start we'll ask about blood-thinning medication or any fear of needles.
