Dry needling and acupuncture can be used alongside rehabilitation to help manage pain, reduce muscular tension and support comfortable movement.

At Prana Sports Injury Clinic, these techniques are not used in isolation. Where appropriate, they form part of a wider treatment and rehabilitation plan based on your assessment, symptoms and individual goals.

Treatment may be considered for a range of musculoskeletal problems, including:

• Muscular pain and tightness
• Trigger points and localised muscle tenderness
• Neck and shoulder pain
• Lower back pain
• Sports and training-related muscular problems
• Persistent musculoskeletal pain
• Restricted or uncomfortable movement
• Symptoms associated with an ongoing injury or rehabilitation programme

The technique used will depend on your individual presentation and whether acupuncture or dry needling is considered appropriate.

Our Approach to Dry Needling & Acupuncture

Before treatment, we’ll discuss your symptoms, medical history and current activity and assess the area causing the problem.

Treatment may involve:

• Assessment of your pain and movement
• Identification of relevant muscular and soft-tissue involvement
• Dry needling of appropriate muscular trigger points
• Acupuncture techniques where clinically appropriate
• Soft tissue treatment where beneficial
• Mobility and movement work
• Exercise rehabilitation and strengthening
• Advice on activity, training and recovery
• Reassessment to monitor your response to treatment

Our focus is on combining appropriate treatment with active rehabilitation, rather than relying on needling alone, helping you work towards longer-term improvements in movement and function.
