Drug-Free Pain Relief: Acupuncture & Dry Needling at Gage Physio Hamilton

Precision Needling for Targeted Healing
Looking for a powerful, drug-free solution to manage stubborn pain, headaches, or deep muscle tension? Acupuncture and Dry Needling are advanced techniques provided by our specially trained physiotherapists at Gage Physio Hamilton Mountain. We use fine, sterile needles to stimulate specific points, target painful muscle knots (trigger points), and modulate the nervous system, leading to profound pain reduction and accelerated healing.

Conditions We Treat with Acupuncture & Dry Needling at Gage Physio

Acupuncture is most effective when integrated into a full physiotherapy treatment plan. We commonly use it to treat:

Trigger Point Deactivation (Dry Needling)

We insert fine needles directly into tight, palpable muscle knots. This causes a therapeutic contraction, or 'twitch,' which signals the muscle to relax, instantly reducing tension and referred pain

Nerve Pathway Modulation

Acupuncture stimulates sensory nerve fibers, which effectively helps to 'turn down' the body’s pain signals to the brain, providing natural, sustained pain relief.

Enhanced Blood Flow & Healing

Needle insertion prompts a localized increase in circulation, delivering oxygen and nutrients to injured tissue to speed up the body's natural repair process.

Sciatica & Nerve Pain

Calming nerve root inflammation and releasing tight muscles that may be pressing on the nerve.

Tendonitis (Tennis Elbow, Achilles Tendinopathy)
