Do you suffer with foot and ankle pain due to conditions such as arthritis, neuroma, plantar fasciitis, shin splints or achilles tendonitis? This low risk treatment could be the key to effective pain relief and enhanced healing. We’re excited to introduce dry needling (Western Acupuncture) to Supafoot, offered by our Clinical Lead, Samuel Chidwick.
What is Dry Needling?
Dry needling is similar to traditional acupuncture. It uses very fine, sterile needles inserted into specific areas to relieve pain. This might sound a little daunting, but the needles are so thin that discomfort is usually minimal.Unlike traditional acupuncture, dry needling is based on modern science and focuses on trigger points, muscles, joints, and soft tissues. It can be very effective in treating foot and ankle pain by easing muscle tightness, reducing inflammation, and calming nerve pain.
How can dry needling help with foot, ankle and even hand pain?
- Arthritis – Reduces swelling and improves joint movement.
- Neuroma – Helps with nerve pain and improves circulation.
- Plantar Fasciitis – Relieves tension and supports healing.
- Tendonitis – Reduces swelling and helps tendons recover.
Dry needling is safe, minimally invasive, and works well alongside other treatments for the best results.
Needling can also be combined with K-laser therapy…
Adding K-Laser therapy can make treatment even more effective by:
- Reducing inflammation – Increases blood flow and removes harmful substances.
- Boosting healing – Helps repair tissues like tendons and ligaments.
- Easing pain – Blocks pain signals to the brain for fast relief which can provide immediate pain relief and may also reduce the need for pain medication.
Comprehensive Musculoskeletal Assessment
Before starting Needling, Samuel Chidwick will carry out a full musculoskeletal assessment. This ensures that we identify the root cause of your pain and tailor the treatment plan to your specific needs. Needling is just one of the many tools we use at Supafoot, but it’s a powerful, low risk method that can deliver fantastic results for pain management and recovery.
