At Tandem Physiotherapy , our physiotherapists offer acupuncture and dry needling as part of a personalized treatment plan to help you move better and feel better—naturally.

These techniques involve the insertion of fine, sterile needles into specific muscles or points on the body to reduce tension, improve circulation, and relieve pain.

  • Dry Needling targets myofascial trigger points—tight bands in the muscle—to release knots and improve function.

  • Acupuncture is based on both traditional Chinese medicine and modern techniques to support the body’s natural healing response.

  • Electroacupuncture is modern enhancement of traditional acupuncture and uses gentle electrical stimulation through acupuncture needles to increase effectiveness. 

Whether you’re recovering from injury, dealing with chronic pain, or struggling with muscle stiffness, our physiotherapist-led needling services are safe, effective, and fully integrated into your rehab program.

Common conditions treated:

  • Neck, back, and shoulder pain

  • Sciatica and other Low back pain

  • Headaches and migraines

  • Tendonitis and muscle strains

  • Sports injuries

  • TMJ dysfunction
