Verruca Needling – What Is It?
At Bargoed Chiropractic Clinic, we understand how frustrating and uncomfortable verrucas can be—especially when they resist over-the-counter treatments. If you’re looking for a reliable, long-term solution, verruca needling might be just what you need.

What Is Verruca Needling?
Verruca needling is a minor surgical procedure used to treat stubborn verrucas (also known as plantar warts). The process involves puncturing the verruca multiple times with a fine needle under local anaesthetic. This triggers your immune system to recognize and attack the virus causing the verruca, helping to clear it from the body.
Benefits of Verruca Needling
✅ High Success Rate – Many people see long-term results, even when other treatments have failed.
🗓️ Minimal Visits Required – Often, only one or two sessions are needed for results.
🧠 Targets the Root Cause – Stimulates your immune system to clear not just the treated verruca, but potentially others as well.
👨👩👧 Suitable for All Ages – Safe and effective for both adults and children (case-dependent).
What to Expect During the Procedure

Initial Consultation – We assess the verruca and ensure this treatment is right for you.
Anaesthetic – The area is numbed to make the procedure comfortable and pain-free.
Needling – The verruca is punctured multiple times using a sterile needle.
Aftercare – We apply a dressing and give full aftercare guidance. Most patients return to normal activity within a day or two.
Is Verruca Needling Right for You?
If you’ve tried freezing, creams, or home remedies without success, verruca needling offers a proven alternative. It’s particularly useful for verrucas that have been around for months—or even years.
