Dry needling and osteopathy are therapies that help relieve musculoskeletal pain and improve movement. Dry needling involves inserting thin needles into tight muscle knots to reduce tension and promote healing. Osteopathy uses hands-on techniques like stretching, massage, and joint manipulation to restore balance and ease discomfort. Both treatments are personalised, aiming to reduce pain, improve function, and support overall well-being.

WHAT IS OSTEOPATHY?

Osteopathy is a primary healthcare profession that specialises in the examination, diagnosis and management of conditions that are due to problems with the joints, ligaments, muscles and nerves of the body. Most people associate osteopathic care with just the treatment of back pain, neck pain and headaches. However, at West Wickham Osteopath Clinic near Bromley, we have a holistic approach to find the underlying cause of your problem.

Is acupuncture or osteopathy right for me?

Dry needling and osteopathy both help with musculoskeletal pain but work in different ways. Dry needling targets tight muscle knots to relieve tension and improve muscle function, making it great for muscle pain and trigger points. Osteopathy uses hands-on techniques like stretching and joint manipulation to improve overall body alignment and mobility, helping with joint pain, posture, and movement issues. If your main issue is muscle tightness or spasms, dry needling might be best. For broader musculoskeletal problems, osteopathy could be more suitable. I can help you decide based on your symptoms if you want.
