How may dry needling help
Dry needling is a unique treatment designed to specifically target and improve muscle function, with an emphasis on encouraging tissue recovery and promoting normal muscle tone. This is important as continued activity with poor muscle function may lead to further tissue damage and increased pain.
Dry needling when combined with osteopathic treatment may be a powerful method to accelerate pain reduction and the recovery of normal tissue function.
Who is dry needling for
Dry needling may be used on almost all patients. It may be especially beneficial for particularly painful musculoskeletal conditions – for example:, migraines, neck pain, back pain, tennis elbow, arthritis, fibromyalgia, and other non-specific pain syndromes may be very responsive.
Dry needling may be used in conjunction with other osteopathic techniques and exercise programs. It also can be used with prescribed medications. However, it may not be suitable for every person depending on their unique health needs, so check with your doctor first if you’re unsure. There are no age limits to treatment.
How do I know if dry needling is for me
Our osteopaths will assess your condition on an individual basis to see if dry needling is suitable for your condition.
Typically, dry needling is used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan in an effort to help manage your injury or condition and further reduce your pain and recovery time.
It is important to understand:
- Your practitioner will discuss with you if they feel dry needling may be of benefit to you.
- You are under no obligation to agree to dry needling. It is your choice whether you wish to use this treatment.
- There is no additional cost for this treatment.
- All Australian hygiene protocols are followed strictly. All needles used are sterile and new.
Your Dry Needling Questions Answered
How does dry needling work?
Dry needling works by inserting needles into specific trigger points. By doing so, it aims to promote circulation, relieve muscle tension, and potentially reduce pain.
Is dry needling painful?
Dry needling may involve a very brief pain response. As the needle is inserted, it may occasionally cause a sudden slight contraction of the muscles. This local twitch response may cause a small amount of pain, but will typically quickly disperse, encouraging your body to recover. Because the needles are so small, often 100 times smaller than a needle used for a blood test, there is usually very little-to-no pain involved.
If you are concerned about this, reach out to our team today. We are happy to discuss your treatment so you can know what you may expect.
What if dry needling isn't right for me?
Our team of practitioners assess your needs and aim to determine what is the appropriate treatment for your concern. If dry needling does not suit your needs, we may recommend other treatment options instead.
