How may dry needling help
Dry needling is a targeted treatment aimed at enhancing muscle function by encouraging tissue recovery and restoring normal muscle tone, preventing further damage and pain.
Combining dry needling with osteopathy can significantly enhance pain reduction and tissue recovery.
Who can use dry needling as a treatment
Dry needling is effective for a wide range of patients, particularly those with musculoskeletal pain conditions like migraines, neck pain, and fibromyalgia.
Dry needling can work alongside other osteopathic methods and exercise regimens, and may also be used with prescribed medications. If you’re unsure about suitability, consult your doctor. There are no age limits for treatment.
How can I tell if dry needling is right for me?
Your condition will be assessed individually by our osteopaths to determine whether dry needling is suitable for you.
As part of a comprehensive treatment plan, dry needling helps to manage your condition and shorten recovery time by alleviating pain.
It is important to understand:
- If dry needling could aid in your recovery, your practitioner will discuss it with you.
- It’s up to you whether to try dry needling, and there’s no obligation to proceed with this treatment.
- There is no additional cost for this treatment.
- Australian hygiene protocols are followed rigorously, and all needles used are sterile and fresh.
All your dry needling questions answered
How does dry needling work?
By placing needles into trigger points, dry needling promotes better circulation, reduces muscle tension, and potentially lessens pain.
Is dry needling painful?
A brief pain response may occur during dry needling, caused by a slight muscle contraction when the needle is inserted. This usually dissipates quickly, promoting recovery. The tiny needles, often 100 times smaller than a blood test needle, cause little to no pain.
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 will assess your needs and determine the best treatment approach. If dry needling isn’t the right choice, we’ll offer alternative options.
