Dry Needling
Muscles in the foot & lower leg can often become tight due to overuse which can affect the full function of the muscle.
Fine acupuncture needles are inserted directly into these areas to release the affected muscle and help to restore normal function. Dry needling can also promote an inflammatory response to the area to encourage tissue repair and healing.
Dry needling can be especially effective in the treatment of plantar fasciitis. Tight muscles in the foot and calf can increase the load on the plantar fascia which can cause heel pain. Deactivation of these areas through dry needling can help to reduce pressure to the heel and arch area relieving pain and discomfort.
