Medical Acupuncture and Dry Needling in Clapham
Medical Acupuncture (Dry Needling)
At Osteotherapy Lab, medical acupuncture, also known as dry needling, is used as a modern, evidence-informed approach to help reduce pain, release muscular tension, and support recovery from injuries.
Unlike traditional Chinese acupuncture, medical acupuncture is grounded in Western anatomy and targets specific trigger points and tight bands of muscle that contribute to pain and restricted movement.
During your session, fine sterile needles are gently inserted into these areas to stimulate a natural healing response, improve circulation, and calm overactive nerves. Many clients experience a noticeable reduction in muscle tightness and an increase in mobility shortly after treatment.
Medical acupuncture can be particularly beneficial for:
- Neck and shoulder tension
- Lower-back pain
- Headaches and migraines
- Sports injuries
- Muscle strains and chronic tightness
- Tendon-related pain
Your treatment is always tailored to your individual needs and can be combined with osteopathy, soft-tissue techniques, and rehabilitation exercises for the best results.
If you’re unsure whether medical acupuncture is right for you, book a consultation and we’ll assess what approach will help you feel and move better.
