What Is Dry Needling?
Stimulating Your Muscular Trigger Points
Dry needling is a type of therapy that involves the insertion of fine needles into the skin. The needles are used to stimulate trigger points, which are areas of muscle tension that can cause pain and other problems.
At My Chiropractor Mackay City, we use dry needling as part of our chiropractic treatment plans. Our chiropractors are trained in this technique and can use it to help relieve pain, improve range of motion, and speed up the healing process.
If you'd like to try dry needling, book an assessment with us and we'll identify if it could help you as part of a wider treatment plan. Call

The Dry Needling Process
During a dry needling session, your chiropractor will insert the needles into the skin. The needles will be inserted to a depth of a few millimetres, and once they’re in place, the chiropractor will manipulate them to stimulate your trigger points. The manipulation of the needles is what causes muscle tension to be released. This can lead to an immediate reduction in pain. In some cases, it may take a few sessions before the full effect is felt.
