What is Dry Needling?
Dry needling is a therapy method that treats muscular tension, pain and restricted mobility. This involves inserting sterile, thin needles into specific muscle tissue to deactivate or stimulate it.
By inserting the needle it triggers local reactions in the muscle, which can help with relaxation and pain relief.
Dry needling should be used in combination with other therapy methods and exercise.
Course of treatment & costs
The use of this technique does not require a specific prescription from the doctor, but can be carried out in a general (sports) physiotherapy session. We use single-use, sterilized needles and guarantee the hygiene measures of the professional association. Before the session you will be informed about the effectiveness. There are no side effects known, when used correctly by professionals. A stabbing pain during the insertion of the needle, muscle twitching, small hematomas or muscle spasms are completely normal and harmless side effects.

Indications
We treat you after an injury and if you already have musculoskeletal complaints. Ideally, we want to avoid surgical intervention by starting treatment at an early stage. At the same time, we use preventative approaches in our treatment plans to reduce the risk of a recurrence. However, many patients also come to us in advance in order to avoid injury or illness in the first place through certain examinations, performance analyses and therapeutic measures.​
Diagnoses that can be treated with dry needling are, for example:
