Trigger point dry needling at The Bristol Physio is a focused treatment used to release tight, sensitive areas within a muscle known as trigger points.
These areas can feel like knots and may contribute to pain, stiffness, reduced movement, or symptoms that refer into other parts of the body. Fine acupuncture needles are placed directly into the affected muscle to help reduce tension, calm sensitivity, and improve how the muscle moves and functions.
Trigger point dry needling is more specifically targeted at tight or overactive areas within the muscle.
The effects can vary depending on your symptoms. Some people feel an immediate release or change in muscle tension within seconds, while in other cases needles may be left in place for longer, up to around 45 minutes, to support a deeper treatment response.
Benefits include:
-
Reduced muscular tightness and discomfort
-
Improved movement and flexibility
-
Relief from muscle aches, tension, and referred pain
-
Support with recovery from training or overload
-
A treatment approach that works well alongside physiotherapy and rehabilitation
