Dry Needling in Geelong, Torquay & Ocean Grove to help pain and sore muscles

Dry needling is also often referred to as trigger point therapy.  Dry needling is used to releasing myofascial triggers with fine needles that work locally and directly.

Our podiatrists have undertaken extra study and certification in dry needling techniques, which can help with releasing muscle trigger points and alleviating pain. 

Trigger points in muscle are essentially overloaded bands that stop muscle from lengthening and building strength efficiently. Further, trigger points may result in referred pain. Therefore, what may be initially diagnosed as plantar fasciitis, may in fact be referred pain from a trigger point in your calf muscles.

Common conditions that can benefit from dry needling include, but are not limited to:

• Calf and leg pain

• Heel pain/ plantar fascia pain

• Achilles tendinopathy/tendonitis

• Shin splints

• Mortons neuroma

• Cuboid syndrome

• Foot pain

The podiatrists at Stance Podiatry can use dry needling as part of a broad treatment plan to encourage healthy function through muscles and connective tissue.

At Stance Podiatry, our podiatrists are experienced in determining whether your condition is related to trigger points, and are able to perform dry needling to resolve your pain and lead to the efficient strengthening of muscle.
