At FITCLINIC, we specialize in these techniques to support athletes, post-surgical patients, and individuals with chronic pain, offering them a non-surgical approach to pain relief and rehabilitation.

Pain Relief
Effectively reduces muscle and joint pain by targeting trigger points and stimulating the body's natural healing process.

frequently asked question
1. Is acupuncture or dry needling painful?
At FITCLINIC, we use highly sterile, fine needles, and most patients report only mild discomfort. Dry needling may cause slight muscle twitching, which is a normal response indicating muscle tension release.
2. Is acupuncture and dry needling safe?
Yes! At FITCLINIC, we use single-use sterile needles and follow strict safety protocols. Our licensed and highly trained physiotherapists ensure that treatments are both safe and effective.
3. How does dry needling help relieve pain?
The fine needle is inserted into tight or overactive muscles, helping to:
- Release tension
- Improve blood flow
- Reduce pain signals from the nervous system
4. Can acupuncture or dry needling replace painkillers?
Many patients turn to these treatments after trying various painkillers without relief. Acupuncture and dry needling often reduce the need for pain medication by targeting the root cause of pain, rather than just masking symptoms. This makes them a natural, drug-free pain management solution.
