Dry Needling is used for the assessment and treatment of a range of musculoskeletal ailments including shin spints, calf tightness and plantar fascia.

Pain in these areas can often be as a result of localised "trigger points" and feel like a knot in the muscle.

Pain reduction is achieved by inserting a fine acupuncture needle into a trigger point, causing a local twitch response.

This enables the muscle relax and uncoil which results in improved muscle range of movement and a subsequent decrease in pain.
