How may dry needling help
Dry needling helps improve muscle function by targeting specific areas, supporting tissue recovery, and restoring proper muscle tone, which can prevent further tissue damage and pain.
Combining dry needling with osteopathy can significantly enhance pain reduction and tissue recovery.
Who can benefit from dry needling
Dry needling can be used for nearly all patients, especially those with painful musculoskeletal conditions like migraines, neck pain, back pain, tennis elbow, arthritis, fibromyalgia, and other non-specific pain syndromes.
Dry needling can complement osteopathic techniques and exercise programs, and may be used alongside prescribed medications. However, it might not be suitable for everyone, so consult your doctor first if you’re unsure. There are no age restrictions for treatment.
How do I determine if dry needling is suitable for me?
Our osteopaths will assess your specific condition to decide if dry needling is the best treatment for you.

- You have the freedom to decide whether dry needling is right for you, with no pressure to agree.
- There is no additional cost for this treatment.
- We strictly adhere to all Australian hygiene standards, ensuring that all needles are sterile and unused.

How does dry needling work?
Dry needling involves inserting needles into trigger points to enhance circulation, relieve tension, and alleviate pain.
Is dry needling painful?
Dry needling may produce a mild pain response with slight muscle contraction, but this typically fades quickly, helping your body heal. The needles are very tiny, often 100 times smaller than a blood test needle, there is usually very little-to-no pain involved.
