Frequently Asked Questions
Is dry needling painful?
Most clients describe a mild ache or brief twitch sensation as the needle reaches a trigger point — this is normal and usually a sign it's working. Discomfort is typically short-lived.
What's the difference between dry needling and acupuncture?
Both use the same fine needles but are applied with different techniques depending on what you need — Jack will explain which approach he's using and why during your appointment.
How many sessions will I need?
This varies by condition — Jack will give you an honest estimate at your assessment rather than booking you in for more than is clinically justified.
