How may dry needling help
Dry needling focuses on improving muscle function by targeting specific areas, promoting tissue recovery, and restoring normal muscle tone, reducing the risk of further injury 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 works well with other osteopathic therapies and exercise plans and can be used with prescribed medications. If you’re unsure, check with your doctor. It’s suitable for people of all ages.
How do I determine if dry needling is suitable 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.
- Dry needling is entirely your choice, and there is no obligation to accept this treatment.
- There is no additional cost for this treatment.
- We follow all Australian hygiene guidelines carefully, using only sterile, new needles for your safety.
Everything you need to know about dry needling
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?
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 practitioners evaluate your needs to find the best treatment for your condition. If dry needling isn’t suitable, we’ll suggest alternative treatments.
