Dry Needling & Trigger Point Massage

Dry Needling & Trigger Point Massage - Safe & Effective Pain Relief

Welcome to Nordic Balance in London, your go-to clinic for Dry Needling and Trigger Point Massage. Our highly skilled practitioners specialise in Dry Needling, an effective needle therapy technique that provides fast and efficient pain relief. We target and relax these areas by carefully inserting fine needles into specific trigger points within the muscles, releasing long-held pain and discomfort.

Dry Needling is particularly beneficial for addressing referred pain, such as whiplash or tension headaches, as the needles are strategically placed along nerve pathways to reach the source of the pain. Whether you're suffering from chronic muscle tension or sports-related injuries, our experienced physiotherapists, osteopaths, and sports therapists frequently incorporate dry needling into their broader treatment plans to ensure a holistic approach to recovery.

For those who prefer non-needle alternatives, we also offer Trigger Point Massage administered by our skilled team. While milder than Dry Needling, still provides effective pain relief. Moreover, it offers the advantage of teaching patients how to identify and stimulate their own trigger points for self-massage, allowing for ongoing pain management.

An Effective Technique for Muscle Pain Relief and Injury Treatment in London

What are the benefits of Dry Needling? Dry Needling provides effective pain relief by targeting trigger points, improves muscle function and flexibility, accelerates healing through increased blood circulation, and addresses referred pain such as headaches.

What is the difference between Acupuncture and Dry Needling? Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that balances energy flow through meridians. At the same time, Dry Needling is a modern approach focused on musculoskeletal pain relief by targeting specific trigger points. Acupuncture has a broader scope of application beyond pain management, while Dry Needling is specifically designed for musculoskeletal issues. The insertion points and training background also differ between the two approaches.

How does Trigger Point Massage complement Dry Needling? Trigger Point Massage is an excellent alternative for individuals who prefer non-needle options. It can relieve pain effectively, although the effect may be milder than Dry Needling. Additionally, Trigger Point Massage allows our therapists to teach patients how to identify and stimulate their trigger points, empowering them to manage their pain independently.
