Dry Needling / Western Acupuncture in Cirencester

At Coyne, we provide dry needling in Cirencester, not to be confused with acupuncture, which involves the use of very fine, sterile needles placed into certain areas of the body to reduce pain by increasing blood flow and affecting your muscles and nerves. Dry needling can be helpful in presentations that don’t respond as well to soft tissue massage and is very effective in treating trigger points (knots). Generally, dry needling is not painful and is very safe to use.

​

The use of dry needling can result in a twitch response, where the muscle makes a small involuntary contraction, increased blood flow (erythema), and reduced inflammation. These responses are seen as positive and part of the body’s natural healing process.
