A study (see link) published in 2014  in the Journal of Orthopaedic and Sports Physical Therapy has found patients who received dry needling for their neck pain showed significantly better improvement than the untreated group.  It was a small study, but always a good place to start.  The patients reported 33% less pain immediately after treatment and 66% less pain a week later.

Most of our osteopaths have completed their acupuncture training with the British Medical Acupuncture Society (BMAS) and it is a hugely effective method of treatment, especially when used in combination with osteopathy.  We often use this for neck and lower back pain, hip and shoulder pain along with many other injuries.
