Dry Needling Therapy

Plymouth Dry Needling Therapy

Western medical acupuncture or dry needling acupuncture offered at Plympton Chiropractic is a modality involving the insertion of fine needles. It acts mainly by stimulating the nervous system (sensory stimulation). The most widespread application of dry needling acupuncture or western medical acupuncture is for pain relief, most commonly musculoskeletal pain.

Our chiropractors can perform dry needling acupuncture for pain and can offer it as part of a wider approach that incorporates other treatments and interventions. When performed by a qualified professional, dry needling is a safe option you could try for pain management.

Dry needling does not necessarily hurt, however this will depend on your personal pain tolerance. The needles are incredibly thin and generally won’t be painful when inserted. However, muscles can occasionally twitch when the needles are in place, and some people experience minor soreness in the days following the treatment. Others feel no pain from the needles during the treatment.

I have been going to Plympton Chiropractic for the last 7 years and the care that I have received has been absolutely outstanding. I used another well known practice before this one and they just don't compare. The team make you feel like family and the chiropractic treatment is amazing. I can't recommend them highly enough.

I couldn’t move having done a week of outdoor heavy DIY, I’m mainly a desk jockey. I knew something wasn’t right, it wasn’t anything a few paracetamol or Ibubrofen would sort and the Pain was so intense it was bringing me to my knees, in steps George, one visit and I’m bouncing around like a gazelle again( slightly overweight gazelle) but you get my drift. A 2nd visit a week later and all good, the last aching muscles eroded by a back massage and I’ve been good since. George is a legend, highly recommend by me.

Absolutely amazing experience at this extremely well organised clinic. Having had residual problems since dislocating my shoulder in 2019 they started to affect my day to day life not least of which with continual pain in my shoulder and down my arm. Saw my GP who recommended physio treatment. Gave up waiting for a Physio appointment and called Plympton Chiropractic Clinic and saw George Gibson within a week who not only diagnosed the problem but treated it effectively and consistently. Result I longer have pain and am able to pursue my daily life in comfort. I cannot recommend this clinic highly enough and it is well worth the money to get sorted. Yes I am still waiting to hear back from the Physio’s after almost three months !

I was most impressed with George's professional manner and knowledge. I have had bad neck pain since getting covid 18 months ago. Not only has George helped treat me he has also given me lots of exercises to help improve my condition.
