Dry needling is an effective therapy for quickly treating muscle complaints and trigger points. At Fysio Ysveld in Nijmegen, we apply dry needling as part of a personalized treatment plan. The technique focuses on deactivating tense muscles that cause pain, both locally and radiating to other areas. Thanks to a combination of expertise and personal guidance, we help you recover quickly and sustainably.

Everything about dry needling at Ysveld Fysio

Dry needling is a form of myofascial trigger point therapy where a thin, sterile needle is inserted directly into the muscle. Trigger points are small hardened areas in the muscle that not only cause localized pain but can also lead to referred pain in other parts of the body.
The technique activates a ‘local twitch response’, causing the muscle to relax, improving blood circulation and reducing pain. At Ysveld Fysio, dry needling is combined with exercise therapy for optimal results.

When is dry needling suitable?

Dry needling is particularly suitable for complaints originating from muscle tension or trigger points. Common situations where dry needling is effective include neck and shoulder pain, back pain, hip and gluteal issues, knee and calf problems, and ankle complaints. These complaints often arise from overuse, stress, prolonged inactivity, or poor posture. Even with recurring muscle pain without a clear cause, dry needling can be a valuable treatment option. During an intake session, we carefully assess whether dry needling is appropriate for your specific situation and how it can be integrated into a broader treatment plan.

What does a dry needling treatment process look like?

A treatment process begins with a comprehensive intake during which we analyze your complaints and map out your movement patterns. We then perform targeted dry needling treatments, often combined with active exercises or stretching routines.
The treatments are short, effective, and tailored to your recovery pace. After treatment, you might experience some muscle soreness, which usually subsides within a few days.
