Dry Needling

Dry Needling

At EBR Physio, we understand how frustrating it can be to deal with persistent pain or stiffness. That’s why we offer Dry Needling—a gentle yet effective treatment to help ease your discomfort. By using fine acupuncture needles, we target those tight, painful areas in your muscles, known as trigger points, to help you feel better and move more freely. 


When pain or tightness holds you back, it can be exhausting. Dry Needling works by directly addressing the source of your discomfort. The needles help break down scar tissue, reduce muscle tension, and encourage your body to heal. This treatment is especially helpful for those struggling with conditions like back and neck pain, headaches, chronic pain, or muscle soreness after exercise.

What can dry needling help with?


If you’re experiencing any of the following, Dry Needling could bring the relief you need:


  • Back Pain: We help release the tension, so you can get back to enjoying life.
  • Neck Pain: Whether it’s from stress or posture, we can help ease the strain.
  • Headaches: By targeting specific muscles, we can reduce the frequency and intensity of your headaches.
  • Chronic Pain: When pain feels like a constant companion, Dry Needling can offer a break.
  • Muscle Tightness and Soreness: We assist your muscles in relaxing and recovering, especially after physical activity.
  • Post-Exercise Soreness: Speeding up your recovery, we help you feel more like yourself again.


Acupuncture and Dry Needling are different practices with different purposes. Acupuncture treats musculoskeletal pain and other body systems, while Dry Needling treats pain and movement issues associated with myofascial trigger points

  • How does Dry Needling differ from acupuncture?

    While both Dry Deedling and acupuncture use similar needles, they have different goals. Dry Needling focuses on relieving muscle pain and tightness by targeting specific trigger points, while acupuncture is based on traditional Chinese medicine and aims to balance the body’s energy or “Qi.”

  • Is Dry Needling painful?

    Most people feel a brief, mild discomfort when the needle is inserted. You might feel a twitch or ache in the muscle, which is a good sign that the treatment is working. Any discomfort usually subsides quickly.

  • What should I expect after a Dry Needling session?

    After a session, it’s normal to experience some mild soreness or stiffness in the treated areas, similar to how you might feel after a workout. This usually resolves within a day or two. Applying a heat pack can help ease any post-treatment soreness.

  • Is Dry Needling safe?

    Yes, Dry Needling is generally safe when performed by a trained and licensed practitioner. Our team at EBR Physio is skilled in Dry Needling techniques and follows strict safety protocols to ensure your well-being.

  • Can I combine Dry Needling with other treatments?

    Absolutely! Dry Needling is often used in conjunction with other treatments like physiotherapy, massage, or exercise programs to enhance overall results and help you recover faster.
