Success Stories: Transforming Lives
What is Dry Needling?
Dry needling, a specialized technique similar to acupuncture, focuses on myofascial trigger points to alleviate muscle pain and improve neuromuscular function. Ideal for endurance athletes, individuals with chronic muscle pain, or those seeking enhanced muscle flexibility and spasm relief, dry needling is a science-based healthcare approach that promises quality of life improvement.
Our Approach to Dry Needling
Our clinic's approach to dry needling therapy integrates holistic health principles with cutting-edge techniques. We understand that each patient's journey towards optimal mobility and pain relief is unique. Therefore, our practitioners customize treatments to suit your specific needs.
The Treatment Process
During your initial consultation, our practitioners will assess your condition, focusing on areas of muscle tightness and discomfort. The treatment involves gently inserting fine needles into specific myofascial trigger points, targeting the root cause of your pain.
Expect mild muscle soreness for a day or two afterward, similar to a workout. Light movement and water help it settle faster, and it's often paired with
myofascial release for longer-lasting results.
Comprehensive Care and Treatment
Our dry needling therapy is part of a comprehensive care plan that may include other modalities such as physiotherapy, osteopathy, and massage therapy. This integrative approach ensures that all aspects of your health and wellness are addressed, providing a holistic path to recovery and well-being.
Expertise and Experience
Our team of practitioners brings a wealth of knowledge and experience in dry needling and related therapies. They are highly trained in identifying and treating a range of conditions, ensuring that you receive the most effective treatment for your specific needs.
Who Actually Performs Your Dry Needling
Dry needling at Rosedale Wellness Centre is delivered by our registered physiotherapists, including Danitza Leiva, Team Lead and Registered Senior Physiotherapist, and Hana Veprikova, Registered Senior Physiotherapist. It's billed and delivered as a physiotherapy service, and the specialists you see below cover the rest of what we offer.
Trigger Points Our Dry Needling Sessions Target Most
Neck and Upper Trap Trigger Points
Long hours at a desk or phone pull on the upper trapezius, forming a trigger point near the base of the skull. Dry needling releases that knot, easing pain that refers into the shoulder or scalp.
Tension Headaches
Trigger points in the neck and jaw often refer pain upward as a tension headache. Needling those muscles directly can reduce how often the headaches come back.
Tennis Elbow
Repetitive gripping and wrist extension, from a racquet or keyboard, overload the forearm extensor muscles. Dry needling eases pain on the outside of the elbow.
Plantar Fasciitis
Tightness in the calf and the muscles under the foot pulls on the plantar fascia with every step. Needling those muscles reduces the tension that keeps the heel and arch inflamed.
Calf and Hamstring Tightness
Runners and anyone on their feet all day carry chronic tightness through the calf and hamstring. Dry needling releases those trigger points to restore range of motion.
Dry Needling Targets Muscle, Acupuncture Targets Energy Flow
Both use thin, solid needles, which is why people mix them up. Dry needling targets a myofascial trigger point to release muscle tension, while acupuncture follows traditional Chinese medicine to balance energy flow.
