Physiotherapy Dry Needling

Dry needling in physiotherapy is particularly effective for relieving:

• Pain and inflammation
• Muscle tension and myofascial problems
• Tendinopathies and bursitis
• Headaches and migraines
• Sprains
• Plantar fasciitis

Physiotherapy dry needling (formerly known as IMS or UASD) is an emerging technique that is becoming increasingly popular in the field of physiotherapy.

It involves the local insertion of a thin, dry needle (without injecting any substance) into various musculoskeletal tissues. The “micro-lesions” created activate physiological processes that stimulate tissue repair, release muscle tension, and reduce pain and inflammation.

During treatment, it is possible to feel localized discomfort or even muscle twitches. The sensation varies greatly from one person to another and depending on the structures being treated. Sometimes the effects of treatment are immediate, while in other cases they may appear a few days later.

At Évolution, physiotherapy dry needling is part of a comprehensive treatment plan aimed at reducing pain and restoring function. It represents a powerful option for addressing many neuro-musculoskeletal conditions.
