Dry Needling

Dry Needling is a specialized physiotherapy technique that uses fine, sterile needles to target specific muscles and trigger points associated with muscle tightness, pain, and movement restrictions. At Kinetic Experts Physiotherapy, Chiropractic & Rehabilitation Centre, dry needling may be used as part of a personalized treatment and rehabilitation program.

The technique is selected after assessing the patient’s symptoms, muscle condition, movement patterns, and functional limitations.
