Dry Needling on Clients

Ever since I started practising dry needling and explaining the benefits to clients, I've received very positive feedback from those who have experienced it. I've treated clients who've headaches, chronic shoulder issues, back pain and knee pain just to name a few. Clients often describe the effects of dry needling as "good soreness" and "loosened up".

I've found that incorporating massage with dry needling brings about pronounced effects, nonetheless, dry needling has wonderful effect on its own. Below are some conditions which i've used dry needling for, from head to toe.

Client has chronic left shoulder "pinch". Needles to release trigger points in upper traps, levator scapulae and infraspinatus.

Client has multiple issues, 1) left shoulder tightness (from daily chores), lower back soreness (from horse riding in Mongolia), right knee pain (particularly with squatting), multiple trigger points in right calf.

Client had main issue of headache due to poor posture, needles were used on the sub-occipitals, trapezius, lower back erectors to release his tightness.

Seeing clients having such good results from dry needling, I'm happy to have this tool in my toolbox to help anyone with musculoskeletal issues.
