Muscle pain, stiffness, and tension can hinder our daily activities and overall quality of life. Whether it’s a stubborn knot in your neck from hours hunched over your computer or a sports injury that just won’t seem to heal, muscle issues can be incredibly frustrating. Thankfully, there’s a solution that’s been gaining traction for its effectiveness: dry needling.

At Rhema-Gold Physiotherapy, we’re proud to offer dry needling as part of our comprehensive physiotherapy services in Calgary. This innovative technique has proven effective in treating a variety of conditions, particularly those related to muscle tension and pain.

Dry needling involves the insertion of thin, sterilized needles into trigger points (tense knots of muscles that cause pain). This technique helps relieve tension, stimulate healing, and promote relaxation in the targeted muscle. Despite what its name might suggest, dry needling is not painful. The needles are extremely thin, and most patients describe the sensation as a minor discomfort or a slight muscle twitch.

The benefits of dry needling are numerous. For one, it’s an excellent method for relieving muscle pain and tension. It’s particularly effective for conditions like neck pain, back pain, headaches, tennis elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome, and even fibromyalgia. Additionally, dry needling can help improve range of motion, making it a valuable tool for athletes or anyone recovering from an injury.

At Rhema-Gold Physiotherapy, our experienced physiotherapists are well-versed in the technique of dry needling. We work closely with our patients to ensure their comfort and safety during the procedure and aim to provide effective, lasting relief from muscle pain and tension.
