Dry Needling in Saskatoon

Relieve Muscle Pain and Restore Mobility with Dry Needling at Vangool Wellness

What Is Dry Needling?

Dry needling is a therapeutic technique performed by trained physiotherapists to relieve muscle pain, improve flexibility, and restore proper function. It involves inserting fine, sterile needles into specific trigger points within your muscles — areas of tightness or “knots” that often cause referred pain or stiffness.

While it may resemble acupuncture, dry needling is based on modern Western medical principles and focuses on treating muscular and neuromuscular dysfunction.

What Causes Muscle Pain and Tension That Benefit from Dry Needling?

Muscle tightness and trigger points can develop for many reasons, including:

  • Poor posture or repetitive strain
  • Muscle overuse or fatigue from sports or work
  • Stress and tension
  • Injury recovery or immobility
  • Chronic pain conditions

When left untreated, these tight muscle bands can cause discomfort, limit motion, and lead to compensations that affect other areas of your body.
