Dry Needling is the insertion of fine acupuncture-type needles into tight muscles or trigger points, which seeks to relieve muscle pain by causing a ‘twitch response’ of the muscle tissue, resulting in relaxation and subsequent release of the taut/contracted muscle area. This then enables the muscle’s normal functions to be restored. Trigger points are hyperirritable taut bands that develop within a muscle, that usually occur as a result of stresses, including poor posture, repetitive actions or emotional trauma. They can cause referred pain and create dysfunction in other parts of the body.
Is it safe to have Dry Needling?
Dry needling is a very safe and relaxing process. In some cases, a needle being inserted into a trigger point muscle may create slight discomfort. However, there is no sharp or excessive pain and many patients do not feel the needles being inserted at all.
Who can benefit from Dry Needling?
Dry Needling may help to reduce the severity of symptoms in conditions such as:
Back and neck pain
Muscular tightness
Headaches
Stress
Sporting Injuries
The majority of our Osteopaths and all our Myotherapists offer Dry Needling at CHH as part of their treatments.
At Canterbury Health Hub, we understand that there are times in our lives where our musculoskeletal system needs the touch of a professional. To help piece together your unique healthcare puzzle, we have brought together a highly qualified team of Dry Needling practitioners (a combination of the majority of our Osteopaths and all our Myotherapists) that are ready and waiting to put you on the right path to wellness.

Dry needling is very safe and relaxing. Some people may experience slight discomfort. However, there is no sharp or excessive pain and many patients do not feel the needles at all.
A Tailored Solution Unique to you
Our highly trained Dry Needling therapists seek to understand your presenting complaint in order to formulate a holistic treatment plan that’s tailored to you. Dry Needling is one great option that we offer at our dedicated health hub. We work to understand your condition and tailor your treatment to you.
Working in Collaboration
At CHH, we believe in all of our practitioners working in collaboration for the benefit for the patient. In some instances, it may be appropriate for the Remedial Massage Therapist at CHH to refer you to one of our Osteopaths or Myotherapists for Dry Needling, to help you further overcome a musculoskeletal issue. A combination of both therapies can work really well!
Giving you a clear path forward
We are passionate about listening to you to help get you back on track. By treating the underlying cause instead of the symptoms, we communicate a path forward. You can feel confident in your treatment program and know what to expect.

A CHH, we are a group of highly trained and experienced therapists who pride ourselves on delivering both efficient and effective treatment results for people of all age groups. We attend regular Continued Professional Development courses to further enhance our Dry Needling skills and knowledge.
