Dry needling is a highly effective technique for releasing tight, painful muscles and improving overall function and can pair well with chiropractic adjustments. At Dr. Claire Chittleborough Chiropractic, we use dry needling to complement gentle chiropractic care, helping patients achieve lasting relief from muscle tension and discomfort.

This treatment is especially helpful for bursitis of the shoulder or hip, carpal tunnel syndrome, or elbow tendonitis. A wide range of musculoskeletal issues can be tailored to your individual needs using dry needling, we recommend getting in touch to confirm whether Dry Needling can assist your issue.
How Dry Needling Helps
Dry needling involves the use of fine needles inserted into tight muscles to release tension and improve circulation.
This technique can help:
-
Reduce muscle tightness and spasms
-
Bursitis and tendonitis
-
Frozen shoulder
-
Improve joint and soft tissue function
-
Support recovery from injury or repetitive strain
In combination with chiropractic care, dry needling addresses both the root cause of discomfort and the compensatory tension that may affect other areas of the body.
Whole-Body Approach to Dry Needling
At Dr. Claire Chittleborough Chiropractic, dry needling is never just about the isolated muscle. Every treatment is combined with a whole-spine assessment and a holistic approach to ensure your body is balanced from head to toe.
​
Muscle tension often develops as a compensation for imbalances elsewhere in the body. For example, tight shoulders may result from neck or upper back issues. By integrating dry needling with gentle spinal adjustments and posture correction, Dr. Claire helps release these deeper imbalances.
​
This comprehensive approach not only targets the immediate discomfort but also promotes long-term function, improved movement, and overall well-being.
