DRY NEEDLING

Dry needling is a form of acupuncture that was derived from traditional Chinese medicine. It involves fine needles being inserted through the skin to stimulate trigger points that cause pain and movement impairments. Desensitising these trigger points can assist with myofascial pain, enhance healing, produce endorphins and overall restore patient function.

Dry needling has evidence-based support in the treatment of acute and chronic back pain,  pelvic girdle pain, knee osteoarthritis, lateral elbow pain and shoulder conditions.

Our treatment plans also include pain management education, safe manual handling techniques, pacing activity and injury prevention strategies.
