Dry Needling & Medical Acupuncture in Drogheda
Targeted Relief for Muscle Tension, Pain & Persistent Tightness
At BodyRight Physiotherapy, we provide Dry Needling and Medical Acupuncture as part of a comprehensive physiotherapy treatment plan designed to reduce pain, release muscle tension, and support faster, long-lasting recovery.
Both techniques use very fine, single-use sterile needles — but each works differently within the musculoskeletal and nervous systems.
Together, they offer a powerful, evidence-based approach for people dealing with pain, stiffness, and recurrent muscle tightness.
What Is Dry Needling?
Dry Needling is a Western, clinical treatment that targets trigger points — tight, sensitive knots within muscles that restrict movement and cause pain.
By inserting a fine needle directly into these trigger points, we can:
-
Improve local blood flow
-
Release overactive or tight muscles
-
Reduce pain and stiffness
-
Restore flexibility and movement
-
Encourage natural tissue repair
Dry Needling may be used alone but is most effective when combined with:
✔ Manual therapy
✔ Soft tissue release
✔ Exercise rehabilitation
✔ Sports recovery programmes
This integrated physiotherapy approach delivers long-term improvement, not just temporary relief.
A Note on Medical Acupuncture
As part of physiotherapy, we may also use medical acupuncture to:
-
Calm the nervous system
-
Improve circulation
-
Reduce inflammation
-
Support deep relaxation
This approach enhances healing, especially for chronic tension, headaches, neck/back pain, or stress-related tightness.
