Dry Needling with Melbourne City Sports Physiotherapy

Becoming a mainstream form of treatment, dry needling is a very useful adjunct to the treatment of sports injuries. Our physiotherapists and myotherapists can identify areas of localised muscle spasm (trigger points) which cause pain and impede muscle action.

Placing a very thin needle into the trigger point reduces the tension in the muscle. The needles also stimulate a localised healing response by drawing specific cells from the blood to the site, assisting healing.

Lastly the needles can further reduce the pain by inhibiting the electrical pathway which relay those pain signals.

Our physiotherapists and myotherapists use dry needing to augment their treatment techniques and speed your recovery.
