Dry Needling in Leeds: Precision Pain Relief
At Indergaard Physiotherapy, we offer expert Dry Needling services, a modern approach to alleviating pain and restoring movement. Different from traditional acupuncture, Dry Needling targets muscle trigger points that are key contributors to pain and dysfunction, offering relief and aiding in the recovery of various musculoskeletal conditions.
Our experienced practitioners use fine needles as precise tools to reach deep within muscle tissue, releasing tension and promoting healing. This technique is especially effective for neck, back, and shoulder pain, as well as conditions like tennis elbow, sciatica, and even osteoarthritis.
