What is Shock Wave Therapy?

Dry Needling is a treatment in which a thin filament needle such as those used in acupuncture, is inserted into the muscle directly at a trigger point. These needles are used to increase muscle relaxation and decrease pain. Dry Needling may be used by your Osteopath or physiotherapist to assist in achieving better results in your treatment.
