Frequently Asked Question (FAQ)
Dry needling is a modern therapeutic technique where a hypodermic needle is inserted into the skin and muscle tissue without injecting any substance. It is commonly used to treat chronic musculoskeletal pain, particularly in tendons and trigger points. To increase the precision and safety of this procedure, many practitioners now use ultrasound-guided dry needling, which significantly improves diagnostic accuracy and treatment outcomes.
Why Use Ultrasound in Dry Needling?
Traditionally, clinicians relied solely on patient feedback and surface palpation to locate the source of pain. This approach, however, can lead to inaccurate targeting and suboptimal results. With ultrasound guidance, healthcare professionals can visualise the affected tissue in real time, ensuring the needle is placed exactly where it needs to be.
Ultrasound scanners allow clear differentiation between healthy and damaged tendons, muscles, or ligaments—making the treatment more effective and reducing the risk of complications.
