Are Aches and Pains Affecting Your Daily Life?
Dry Needling Can Help!
If pain is limiting your daily activities, dry needling may be your solution. Momentum Health offers this evidence-based treatment, which has been shown to effectively reduce pain and improve function for a variety of musculoskeletal conditions.
Dry needling has evolved from acupuncture, but focuses specifically on the anatomical structures of the body. This scientifically validated technique targets trigger points – tight, painful knots within muscles – that can cause pain and dysfunction.
Research supports the use of dry needling for:
- Reducing pain and muscle tension
- Improving range of motion and flexibility
- Enhancing muscle function and coordination
- Promoting the natural healing process
Dry needling involves the insertion of thin, sterile needles into trigger points. This can help to release tension, increase blood flow, and stimulate the body’s natural pain-relieving mechanisms.
If you’re seeking a natural and effective way to manage pain, consider dry needling at Momentum Health. Our experienced practitioners will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan to address your specific needs and goals.
Our personalized approach ensures you receive the most effective and appropriate treatment for your unique circumstances.

Dry Needling is an Evidence-Based Approach to Pain Relief
Dry needling is a minimally invasive, scientifically backed technique that has gained popularity due to its effectiveness in treating musculoskeletal and neuromuscular conditions.
Dry needling aids patients in achieving enhanced mobility and improved overall functionality by targeting specific trigger points and providing relief for a variety of conditions.
- Myofascial pain syndrome: This condition stems from trigger points or tight knots in the muscles, leading to localized or referred pain elsewhere in the body.
- Tension headaches and migraines: Chronic muscle tension in the neck and shoulders can cause these debilitating headaches.
- Lower back pain: A common complaint among adults, lower back pain often arises from muscle imbalances, poor posture, or spinal misalignment.
- Fibromyalgia: This chronic disorder is characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and localized tenderness.
- Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders: Issues with the jaw joint and surrounding muscles can cause pain and discomfort in the face, neck, and head.
- Neck pain and stiffness
- Repetitive strain injuries (tennis elbow/patellar tendonitis/achilles tendonitis)
At Momentum Health, our team of physiotherapists and chiropractors are dedicated to promoting optimal health and functionality using evidence-based, results-oriented treatments. Dry needling is a robust tool in combating chronic pain, allowing you to reclaim control over your body and live a more fulfilling life.
