Medical Acupuncture & Dry Needling

At Total Health Osteopathy in Plymouth, we offer both dry needling and medical acupuncture as part of our treatment approach to help relieve pain, restore movement, and support long-term recovery.

What is Dry Needling?

Dry needling is a modern technique where ultra-fine, sterile needles are inserted into tight muscles or “trigger points.” This helps release knots, reduce pain, and improve circulation in the affected area. It is especially effective for chronic muscle tension, sports injuries, and postural strain.

What is Medical Acupuncture?

Medical acupuncture uses similar fine needles but works along specific points in the body to stimulate natural healing responses. It is often used more broadly to reduce inflammation, calm irritated nerves, and support overall wellbeing.

What Can It Help With?

Dry needling and medical acupuncture can help with:

• Back and neck pain

• Shoulder and knee injuries

• Sciatica and nerve pain

• Muscle tension and stiffness

Why Combine It with Osteopathy?

We combine these techniques with Osteopathic treatment to accelerate recovery, release deep-seated tension, and enhance long-term results.
