NEEDLING & SHOCKWAVE

Pinpoint Relief

Dry needling and shockwave therapy are effective techniques to relieve muscle tension, reduce pain, and improve movement.

Dry needling involves inserting fine, sterile needles into muscle trigger points, tight knots within the muscles, to release tension, increase blood flow, and promote natural healing.

This treatment is particularly beneficial for conditions such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, shin splints, and general foot and leg pain.

Shockwave therapy, including radial shockwave therapy, is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate healing in tendons, muscles, and soft tissues.

It helps reduce chronic inflammation, promote tissue repair, and relieve pain – making it suitable for a range of musculoskeletal disorders.

Combining dry needling with shockwave therapy can enhance recovery and improve movement, offering a comprehensive and clinically proven approach to managing musculoskeletal issues.

If you’re experiencing persistent foot or lower limb pain, these combined therapies could provide the relief you’ve been seeking.

Dry Needling & Radial Shockwave Therapy FAQs

What are dry needling and radial shockwave therapy?

Dry needling involves inserting fine, sterile needles into trigger points (tight knots in muscles) to release tension and stimulate healing.

Radial shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic waves to reduce pain, improve blood flow, and promote soft tissue repair.

Is dry needling the same as acupuncture?

No, while both use thin needles, acupuncture is based on traditional Chinese medicine, whereas dry needling is grounded in modern musculoskeletal science, focusing on muscle knots and trigger points.

What conditions do these treatments help with?

Both treatments are highly effective for a range of musculoskeletal conditions, including:

  • Plantar fasciitis

  • Achilles tendinitis

  • Heel pain

  • Shin splints

  • Muscle tightness and foot/leg pain

  • Chronic soft tissue injuries

Can they be used together?

It is important to have an assessment by a qualified Podiatrist to determine the best treatment options. If used together, dry needling and shockwave therapy can complement each other by targeting both the muscular and connective tissue components of pain. This dual approach can enhance recovery, reduce inflammation, and restore movement more efficiently.

Is it safe?

Yes, both treatments are safe and evidence-based when performed by trained health professionals. We use sterile techniques and clinically proven protocols to ensure your safety and comfort.

Are these treatments painful?

You may feel mild discomfort during dry needling (like a muscle twitch or ache) and during shockwave therapy (a tapping or pulsing sensation), but both are generally well-tolerated. The intensity can be adjusted to suit your comfort level.
