A little muscle soreness after dry needling can happen.
Some patients describe it as feeling similar to the soreness experienced after a workout or a particularly deep massage. Minor bruising or temporary tenderness may also occur.
This usually settles as the area recovers.
I’ll explain what you can expect after your treatment and give you practical advice based on the area we’ve treated and your normal activity levels.
If something doesn’t feel right afterwards, I’d always rather you contact me and ask.
