Acupuncture / Dry needling


At Peoples Physio, we believe in the power of complementary therapies to enhance your physical well-being and promote natural healing. That’s why we offer expert acupuncture and dry needling services to help relieve pain, reduce muscle tension, and improve overall health and vitality.

Our Approach

We take a holistic approach to acupuncture and dry needling, drawing on ancient healing traditions and modern evidence-based practices to address a wide range of musculoskeletal and neurological conditions. Our skilled therapists use sterile, single-use needles to stimulate specific points on the body, promoting balance and restoring the flow of energy (qi) to facilitate healing.

Services We Offer

  • Dry Needling: A Western approach to acupuncture, dry needling targets trigger points (taut bands of muscle) to relieve pain and improve muscle function. It involves the insertion of needles into tight muscles, tendons, or ligaments to release tension and reduce pain.

Conditions We Treat

  • Musculoskeletal Pain: Back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, knee pain, and joint pain.
  • Sports Injuries: Muscle strains, ligament sprains, tendonitis, and overuse injuries.
  • Headaches and Migraines: Tension headaches, migraine headaches, and cervicogenic headaches.
  • Chronic Pain Conditions: Fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, and neuropathic pain.
  • Stress and Anxiety: Acupuncture can promote relaxation, reduce stress hormones, and improve overall well-being.
  • Women’s Health: Menstrual pain, menopausal symptoms, and fertility support.

Benefits of Acupuncture and Dry Needling

  • Pain Relief: Acupuncture and dry needling can help relieve acute and chronic pain by stimulating the body’s natural pain-relieving mechanisms and reducing inflammation.
  • Muscle Relaxation: By targeting trigger points and tight muscles, dry needling can help alleviate muscle tension and improve flexibility and range of motion.
  • Stress Reduction: Acupuncture promotes relaxation and reduces stress by calming the nervous system and releasing endorphins (feel-good hormones).
  • Improved Sleep: Many people experience improved sleep quality and duration following acupuncture sessions, leading to better overall health and well-being.
