Thin, sterile acupuncture needles are inserted directly into these trigger points, causing a brief twitch response that releases the muscle tension. Sessions typically combine dry needling with manual therapy and exercises for lasting relief.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dry Needling in Port Dickson
Is dry needling painful?
Most patients in Port Dickson report a brief discomfort lasting 1-2 seconds when the needle hits a trigger point, followed by a deep aching sensation as the muscle releases. Many describe it as a "good pain." The overall treatment is well-tolerated, and the relief afterwards is significant. Your physiotherapist will work at your comfort level.
How is dry needling different from acupuncture?
Dry needling targets specific muscular trigger points based on Western anatomy and pain science, while acupuncture follows Traditional Chinese Medicine meridian theory.
