Acupuncture & Dry Needling at Livewell Physiotherapy & Rehab
Muscle tightness, recurring pain, or stiffness that never quite goes away often comes from deep tension in the body. Acupuncture and dry needling target those problem areas directly, helping your muscles release tension, restore movement, and calm inflammation naturally.
If you’ve been searching for acupuncture therapy near me or dry needle therapy near me, Livewell Physiotherapy & Rehab offers gentle, evidence-based treatments designed to bring lasting relief without unnecessary medication or invasive procedures.

What Happens During Treatment
Both acupuncture and dry needling use thin, sterile needles, but each serves a slightly different purpose:
Acupuncture Therapy
A traditional technique rooted in Chinese medicine, acupuncture stimulates specific points to balance your body’s natural energy flow. It helps with chronic pain, headaches, stress, and general muscle discomfort.
Dry Needling Therapy
A modern physiotherapy method that targets “trigger points.” These are tight knots that cause pain or limit movement. It’s especially effective for muscle spasms, tension headaches, and postural pain.
During your session, our physiotherapist will locate tight or sensitive areas and gently insert the needles. The process is safe, precise, and focused on helping your muscles relax and heal. Most of our clients describe the feeling as a light pressure or dull ache that quickly eases.

- Ongoing neck, back, or shoulder tension.
