Dry Needling - Physiotherapy treatment at Physio Servette Geneva

Servette Physiotherapy Center in Geneva

Le dry needling est une technique thérapeutique utilisée pour traiter la douleur myofasciale et les points trigger, aussi connus sous le nom de points gâchettes. Contrairement à l'acupuncture traditionnelle, qui se base sur la médecine chinoise et l'énergie vitale, le dry needling se fonde sur des principes biomécaniques et neurophysiologiques modernes. Des aiguilles fines et solides sont insérées dans les muscles pour stimuler les tissus et réduire les tensions musculaires.

Your questions about Dry Needling

Dry Needling is a therapeutic technique used to treat muscle pain and trigger points. Unlike traditional acupuncture, Dry Needling is based on biomechanical and neurophysiological principles. Fine needles are inserted into muscles to release tension and improve blood circulation, helping to reduce pain and improve mobility. This technique is practiced by qualified physiotherapists at the Servette Physiotherapy Center in Geneva.
Most patients experience little or no pain when the needles are inserted. You may feel a slight tingling sensation or brief muscle twitch when the needle reaches a trigger point. These sensations are normal and indicate that the treatment is effectively targeting tension areas. Our physiotherapists ensure your comfort throughout the session.
Dry Needling is effective for treating a variety of conditions: chronic muscle pain, neck and lower back tension, muscle-related headaches, shoulder pain, iliotibial band syndrome, tendonitis, and many other musculoskeletal conditions. It is also beneficial for athletes looking to accelerate their recovery.
The number of sessions varies depending on the condition being treated and the individual response to treatment. Some patients experience significant improvement after a single session, while others may need several sessions.
