Experts in Chronic Muscle Pain

At Physiologic, we are experts in the non-surgical, safe treatment of chronic muscle pain. Our therapists are experienced in ‘dry needling’, a new treatment which, unlike acupuncture, focuses more on the targeted treatment of nerve and muscle pain with proven results.

Experts in dry needling for chronic muscle pain

A trigger point is a taut band of skeletal muscle located within a larger muscle group. Trigger points can be tender to the touch and touching a trigger point may cause pain to other parts of the body. Our therapists place the needles in “trigger points” in your muscle or tissue. The points are areas of knotted or hard muscle and the needle helps release the knot and relieve any muscle pain or spasms. The benefits of this type of treatment can often be felt as soon as the session has finished.

What is dry needling?

Our physiotherapists use thin, solid filiform needs to penetrate the skin and stimulate underlying myofascial trigger points, muscular and connective tissue for the management of neuro-musculoskeletal pain and movement impairments.

What are the benefits?

  • Dry needling targets tight, knotted muscles or trigger points, helping to relax the muscle and reduce pain.
  • Release of Endorphins: The needle insertion can stimulate the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers, leading to a decrease in pain levels.
  • It helps to reduce muscle stiffness, which can improve movement and functional performance.
  • The technique can improve blood circulation to the treated area, promoting healing by delivering more oxygen and nutrients to the tissues
  • By releasing muscle tension, dry needling can improve flexibility and range of motion, which is particularly beneficial for athletes or individuals recovering from injuries.

“After 4 years of suffering with chronic pain after recovering from surgery then a traumatic car accident Cary cured my pain and symptoms within just a few sessions of dry needling, he accurately found the contracted muscles and to my amazement was able to lengthen them back to being pain free, it’s a miracle as I had tried everything and nothing lasted, this treatment and Cary’s expert practise and knowledge has lasted beyond belief. I now live a pain free life!”
