Relieve muscle pain and tension with precise dry needling.

Ease muscle pain and trigger points with professional dry needling therapy at Elora Aesthetic Polyclinic, a non-pharmaceutical approach for long-term relief.

  • Targets muscle knots and tension

  • Improves range of motion

  • Effective for sports injuries and chronic pain

  • Performed by licensed physiotherapists

Dry needling is a clinically proven technique that uses thin, sterile needles to release myofascial trigger points—also known as muscle knots. The procedure helps relieve pain, improve flexibility, and restore muscle function without medication.

How it works:

  • A dry needle is inserted into a tight muscle or trigger point.

  • It stimulates a twitch response and increases blood flow.

  • The result is reduced pain and faster healing.

  • Unlike acupuncture, dry needling is rooted in Western medicine principles.

  • Targets deep muscular pain and stiffness

  • Increases circulation and healing response

  • Reduces tension headaches and joint pain

  • Improves flexibility and range of motion

  • Supports recovery after sports injury or strain

  • Complements physiotherapy and rehabilitation programs

Dry needling is ideal for those experiencing:

  • Muscle tightness or spasms

  • Sports-related injuries

  • Neck, back, or shoulder pain

  • Joint dysfunction or repetitive strain

  • Chronic pain conditions like fibromyalgia

It is not recommended for individuals with needle phobia, bleeding disorders, or certain skin conditions in the treatment area.

Before Treatment:

  • A detailed assessment by the physiotherapist

  • Identification of trigger points and treatment areas

During Treatment:

  • Thin needles are gently inserted into the affected muscle

  • You may feel a quick twitch or mild ache

  • Sessions last 15–30 minutes based on the area

After Treatment:

  • Muscles may feel sore like post-workout soreness

  • Some notice immediate relief; others feel better after 1–2 days

  • Follow-up sessions may be suggested for lasting effects

Aftercare & Recovery

  • Apply ice or a warm compress to soothe soreness

  • Perform gentle stretching as advised by the therapist

  • Stay hydrated to support muscle recovery

  • Avoid strenuous workouts for 24–48 hours
