Discover Dry Needling In Gozo

Dry needling is offered as an integrated part of your osteopathy treatment at Gozo Osteopathy

At Gozo Osteopathy, we’re always evolving to offer the most effective, evidence-based treatments to support your wellbeing. That’s why we’re excited to introduce Dry Needling to Gozo, a powerful therapy now available at our clinic and offered, if necessary, as part of your osteopathic treatment.

What Is Dry Needling?

Dry needling can enhance the effects of manual therapy by targeting deep muscle tension and accelerating recovery. It is a modern therapeutic technique used to target muscular pain and dysfunction. It involves inserting very thin, sterile needles directly into trigger points – tight bands of muscle fibres that can cause discomfort, restrict movement, or refer pain to other areas of the body.

Unlike acupuncture, which is rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, dry needling is based on Western anatomical and neurological principles. It’s often used by osteopaths, physiotherapists, and other manual therapists to relieve muscle tension and improve movement.

What Are the Benefits?

Dry Needling offers a range of benefits, particularly for people suffering from:

• Chronic or acute muscular pain

• Sports injuries and overuse conditions

• Stiffness or limited range of motion

• Neck, shoulder, hip or back pain

• Tension headaches

When performed by a trained practitioner, dry needling can:

• Release muscle knots

• Improve blood flow

• Reduce inflammation

• Restore mobility

• Speed up recovery

What to Expect from a Session

During your session at Gozo Osteopathy, your practitioner will assess your condition and determine if dry needling is appropriate. The treatment itself involves the gentle insertion of fine needles into specific areas. You may feel a twitch response or brief discomfort, but most people find the process manageable – and the results worth it.

Is It Safe?

Absolutely – when performed by a qualified professional like Stefano at Gozo Osteopathy, dry needling is safe, clean, and highly effective. All needles are single-use and sterile, and the technique is tailored to your unique needs and comfort level.

Why Try It?

If you’ve tried massage, osteopathy, or physiotherapy but still experience muscular tension or pain, dry needling could be the missing piece. It’s an ideal complement to other manual therapies and offers deep, targeted relief.
