Dry needling is a form of Acupuncture and has been proven to be beneficial in treating many lower leg, ankle and foot conditions such as shin splints, peroneal tendonitis, Achilles tendinopathy, arch/heel pain or ‘plantar fasciitis’ and bunion pain.
Multiple trigger points, taut bands of muscle tissue are targeted to release tension and strain on certain muscle groups to reduce pain and improve leg/foot function. Needling is sometimes used as a stand-alone treatment but is often used in conjunction with other modalities such as orthotics, deep tissue massage and strapping.
