Dry Needling

While the name of the procedure may sound intimidating, dry needling is safe and often an effective technique for patients with certain musculoskeletal presentations. Dry needling is a treatment performed by skilled, trained physical therapists, certified in the procedure. A thin monofilament needle penetrates the skin and treats underlying muscular trigger points for the management of neuromusculoskeletal pain and movement impairments.

A trigger point is a local contracture or tight band in a muscle fibre that can disrupt function, restrict range of motion, refer pain or cause local tenderness. When dry needling is applied to a dysfunctional muscle or trigger point, it can decrease banding or tightness, increase blood flow, and reduce local and referred pain.

Dry needling treats muscle tissue, and its goal is to reduce pain, inactivate trigger points and restore function. It rarely is a standalone procedure, rather, it often is part of a broader physical therapy approach incorporating other traditional physical therapy interventions into treatment.

Book Appointment

Dry needling can be used for a wide variety of musculoskeletal issues, such as shoulder, neck, heel, hip and back pain.

It’s important to note dry needling is not the same as acupuncture. It uses similar tools, but that’s where the similarities end.

					Both myself and my Wife have been coming in to see Jonas for a couple of years now. I have seen a few Chiropractors before but none are anywhere near... read more as good as Jonas. He is able to explain everything he is doing to give you full understanding and a build a real trust that he knows his stuff. Jonas looks at the person as a complete package, has a great well rounded knowledge and is able to offer advice and understanding on a wide range of issues. I came in yesterday with a back injury and today I'm back to moving normally! I would recommend Jonas to anyone interested in maintaining a high level of overall health.

					Jonas is the absolute best. He is very knowledgeable and listens to everything you have to say to decide the best course of action for treatment. I could not be... read more happier. I have had several sessions with him for different ´problems´ and he always makes me feel a lot better as well as helped me correct some of the underlying issues. I could not recommend him, or Back2normal more!

					Jonas is a Wizard. I have suffered the most excruciating lower back pain with shooting nerve pain down my leg. Lots of numb feeling in my foot. I was so... read more scared I had really done some long term damage. Rating pain at a solid 9 out of 10. Within 3 visits with Jonas I was able to walk without pain, sit on a chair with zero pain and feel the road to recovery firmly infront of me. Back2normal is honestly the only chiropractor I will ever use.

					I started seeing Jonas 2 years ago, he asked me when is the last time you woke up not in pain, it was about 2 years! Jonas started me on... read more a course of treatments, which totally changed my life, I stand for 8/10 hours a day as a hairdresser, so I was in desperate need of re alignment. I also felt I had trouble breathing and taking deep breath’s, once Jonas sorted my mid back, I literally cried walking back to the car the relief was immense. He is very knowledgeable and makes you feel really comfortable. He has also seen my Husband,Mum,Daughters and I have recommended many of my own clients to him. Why wait? You don’t have to be in pain or uncomfortable you just need to visit Jonas!

					Emily was excellent with my little kid. She examined courteously and thoroughly, explained what treatment she was doing and why. Also she was very clear as to what to expect... read more afterwards with a clear plan moving forward. I would highly recommend Back2normal and Emily as a very competent chiropractor.

					I’ve been to back2normal for chiropractic treatment with Jonas (who is really good). Today I’ve been to see AJ for sport massage. I’m not in crisis but I’m aware I’m... read more not stretching my muscles enough and probably causing myself issues with the weights if I don’t address it now. I’ve come out with such better movement in my neck/shoulder already. He’s a great technician, but intuitive to know where help is needed! Highly recommended!
