The best Dry Needling physiotherapy

Dry needling is an innovative technique in the Netherlands that can be used as part of a total treatment. A thin needle is inserted through the skin and muscle directly into a 'trigger point'. A trigger point is a local, hardened and painful spot in a muscle, which can be the cause of pain and muscle tension complaints. Because no liquid is injected, it is called dry needling.

The best Dry Needling physiotherapy in Rotterdam

Dry needling is an innovative technique in the Netherlands that can be used as part of a total treatment. A thin needle is inserted through the skin and muscle directly into a 'trigger point'. A trigger point is a local, hardened and painful spot in a muscle, which can be the cause of pain and muscle tension complaints. Because no liquid is injected, it is called dry needling.

What is a dry needling treatment and how does it work?

Dry needling is a relatively new treatment method that has been gaining popularity in the Netherlands in recent years. It is a technique in which a thin needle is pierced through the skin and muscle directly into a 'trigger point'. A trigger point is a localized, hardened and painful spot in a muscle, which can be the cause of pain and muscle tension complaints. The big advantage of dry needling is that it can provide relatively quick relief from these complaints.

Benefits of a dry needling treatment

A dry needling treatment has several advantages compared to other treatments. The patient feels little pain during the treatment and there are no side effects. In addition, dry needling treats deeper structures in the body than many other treatments. These deeper structures often play a role in discomforts that originate at more superficial levels.

What is a trigger point?

A trigger point is a painful and hardened area in a muscle, which in addition to local pressure pain, can often cause radiating pain. The physiotherapist locates and treats these trigger points if they may be a cause of your complaints.

Origin of trigger points

  • Acute – for example due to a wrong movement or accident
  • Long-term overload of, for example, arm, shoulder and/or neck when using a computer
  • Overload/injuries in athletes
  • Prolonged absence of movement, e.g. due to plaster
  • Psychological factors, such as stress and depression, that cause physical complaints

Ways in which trigger points can express themselves

  • Pain and stiffness, locally or with radiating complaints
  • Movement restrictions in joints
  • Decreased strength in the muscle(s) involved
  • Pain avoidant behavior; you will move 'differently'
  • Headachedizziness etc.

The difference between dry needling and acupuncture

Dry needling and acupuncture are two different treatments that are often confused with each other. Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese treatment in which several needles are inserted superficially into the body, which remain there for some time and influence the “energy” in the body. Dry needling usually uses one needle, which is inserted into the muscle for a short period of time. Dry needling works on specific “trigger points” and is therefore not an “energy” treatment.

Synonyms: Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS) and Trigger Point Dry Needling (TDN)

A month ago I came to Fysio Iburg with a groin injury. I have been dealing with this for a year, tried various treatments but unfortunately without results. However, after 3 treatments with Arnold my complaints disappeared. I am therefore very grateful to the practice for their expert treatments. This allows me to exercise again like before!

Super good and knowledgeable help from Kate. Had a shoulder injury. I received good exercises and was free of injury/pain after a few weeks. Continue to do the exercises to keep the shoulder strong. I would recommend Physio Iburg Rotterdam.
Frank van Hemert
Had great treatment from Farid. Came in with severe back and shoulder pain, a combination of dry needling and old-fashioned cracking, the next day it went much better. Super!

Due to working from home a lot, poor posture and stress, I had a lot of problems with my shoulder and neck. Together with Fysio Iburg I made a plan in which treatment and exercises have resulted in enormous improvements within a short period of time. I am very satisfied!

I am very satisfied with the treatment (dry needling) by Arnold at Physiotherapy Iburg. I can't believe that I got rid of all my complaints within 5 treatments, while I had already been treated by two other physiotherapists without results.

Rehabilitated twice for a year with Joris after anterior cruciate ligament reconstructions. In addition to excellent physical guidance to make the knee as strong and stable as possible, he is also just a nice person to work with. In addition, always supportive of my (sports) goals, also during recovery.

I had a fall about 2 months ago and had a lot of shoulder problems. Arnold saw me struggling in the gym and asked if I had shoulder problems and then told me that he is a shoulder specialist. This was over the weekend and I was able to visit him the following Monday. The treatment is uncomfortable but with great results.

Excellent! I have/had a fairly complex complaint in my back after an inguinal hernia. I walked crookedly for a long time because of the pain and as a result scoliosis started to form. Meanwhile, my vertebrae and my hip were also stuck and could no longer be loosened. After one treatment by Annemieke, the cause was found and the necessary muscles were loosened.

Running analysis

Running analysis is highly recommended to improve your performance and prevent injuries. Back pain and right hip treated and loosened through intensive training. Received very good treatment and information about home exercises that I can do myself. The abdominal muscle exercises I learned have improved my performance and resolved complaints. I have now permanently included these exercises in my training program. Have broad knowledge.
