Dry Needling
for Tennis Elbow
Dry needling of the common extensor origin and associated trigger points in the forearm provides additional pain relief as an adjunct to physiotherapy.
How it works
Needle insertion into the degenerative tendon area or muscle trigger points produces a local twitch response and may stimulate tendon healing via mechanical disruption and growth factor release.
What to watch for
Dry needling of tendon tissue (intratendinous needling) is different from intramuscular dry needling. Performed by physiotherapists and acupuncturists with appropriate training. Temporary post-needling soreness common.
