Dry Needling is a modern technique used to relieve muscle pain and tension. Fine, sterile needles are inserted into trigger points—tight knots within the muscle tissue. This helps release muscle spasms and improve blood flow to the affected area.

The technique is based on Western medical principles and is different from traditional acupuncture. Dry needling can be effective for headaches, neck pain, back pain, and sports injuries.

It often provides fast relief and improves the range of motion. While the insertion may cause brief discomfort, most patients tolerate it well. The treatment is typically part of a comprehensive rehabilitation program.

It works well alongside physiotherapy and manual therapy. At Physio Laufen, dry needling is always performed by certified professionals with advanced training.
