Dry Needling Treatment
What Is Dry Needling?
Dry needling, also known as Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS), is a highly effective and safe treatment used to relieve muscle tension, restore natural muscle tone, and improve overall functionality. This therapy targets myofascial trigger points—tight areas or knots in the muscles—to release tension and alleviate pain. By inserting thin, stainless steel needles into these pressure points, dry needling helps rebuild muscle length, enhance coordination, and strengthen weakened muscles, promoting faster recovery and improved mobility.
How Does Dry Needling Work?
During a dry needling session, a skilled physiotherapist inserts fine filiform needles into specific trigger points in the muscle. These needles do not contain any liquid or medication; instead, they work by stimulating the muscle tissue to release tension and restore normal function. The needles are typically left in place for 10–30 minutes, depending on the treatment plan. This process improves pain control, reduces muscle tension, and normalizes motor end plate dysfunctions—sites where nerve impulses communicate with muscles—thereby accelerating rehabilitation and recovery.
Benefits of Dry Needling Therapy
Dry needling offers numerous benefits, including:
- Pain reduction in muscles, joints, and connective tissue.
- Improved muscle flexibility and coordination.
- Relief from myofascial pain syndrome and chronic muscle tightness.
- Enhanced motor function and strength.
- Faster recovery from injuries and reduced downtime.
Whether you’re dealing with acute pain or chronic discomfort, dry needling is designed to target and resolve the underlying cause of muscle dysfunction, making it an effective solution for long-term relief.

Mandy G
“Paramjit and her staff are extremely professional, kind, and caring! She’s amazing at what she does! She was recommended by my mom’s work colleagues. My mom’s pain is always relieved after treatment from Paramjit. She recommended I see Paramjit as I suffer from TMJ pain, as well as neck and upper back pain. After the FIRST session I could tell a huge difference! I noticed I stopped clenching right after the first appointment and much of my facial tension was gone. Every time I see her, things always improve!
I highly recommend Paramjit! If you’ve been to a physiotherapist before but haven’t seen results, you will definitely see them with Paramjit!
