If you’ve been dealing with stubborn muscle tightness, nagging pain, or limited movement and nothing else seems to help, dry needling treatment with a physiotherapist might be exactly what you need. At Shift Physiotherapy & Wellness, we offer dry needling treatments as part of a personalized, well-rounded treatment plan built around your unique goals and what matters most to you.
​
At your first appointment, your physiotherapist will take the time to really listen. We want to understand what’s bringing you in and how it’s affecting your day-to-day life. From there, we’ll look closely at how you move, what seems to trigger your symptoms, and any relevant health history to see if a dry needling treatment is a good fit for your recovery.

Dry Needling Treatment
What is a Dry Needling Treatment?
​Dry needling involves the insertion of thin, sterile monofilament needles into tight muscle bands, commonly known as trigger points. These areas can be a major source of pain or restriction. This technique stimulates a neurophysiological response in the tissue, improves blood flow, and helps to reduce pain and restore movement, all of which can support healing and better movement.​
