Is dry needling safe?
Every form of treatment can carry an associated risk. Your practitioner can explain and determine whether dry needling is suitable for you. Side effects may occur, including bruising, fainting, nausea, residual discomfort or even altered energy levels. However, these symptoms should last no longer than 24 to 48 hours after treatment.

Can you exercise after dry needling?
This will very much depend on what techniques and areas are treated. Our practitioners may recommend avoiding strenuous or high impact activities immediately after needling, to allow time for the area to recover and to maximise the benefits of treatment.​

What will you feel during dry needling treatment?
You may feel a mild sensation as the needle inserts and withdraws. A brief muscle twitch may occur, which is a sign of the muscle being released and relaxed.
