FAQs About Dry Needling
Is dry needling painful?
Most people feel only a slight sting or twitch during needling. Any post-treatment soreness is usually mild and fades within a day or two.
How many sessions will I need?
This depends on the condition and how long you’ve had it. Some people feel relief after just one or two sessions; others may benefit from a short course of treatment.
Is dry needling safe?
Yes. At Unwind Health Miranda, our practitioners are fully trained and certified in dry needling techniques and follow strict hygiene and safety protocols.
What’s the difference between dry needling and acupuncture?
Dry needling is based on modern musculoskeletal and neurological science. Acupuncture, on the other hand, is based on traditional Chinese medicine and focuses on energy flow (qi).
