Dry Needling in North Sydney

Applying needlesAs part of our commitment to natural wellness, we offer dry needling, a therapy that focuses on musculoskeletal pain and trigger points, providing targeted relief for pain and movement issues associated with myofascial trigger points.

Like acupuncture, which targets the nervous system at the surface, dry needling uses fine needles, but that’s where the similarity ends. This method works with the musculoskeletal system to target deep, chronic pain in the patient’s muscles, releasing tension and relieving pain and spasms.

Recommended for Muscle Pain

Dry needling is recommended for patients experiencing chronic musculoskeletal pain, such as knee or shoulder discomfort. It is particularly beneficial for those seeking a non-invasive and drug-free alternative for pain management. Our skilled practitioner Adrian will thoroughly evaluate your condition and determine whether this therapy is appropriate.

We understand some patients may feel nervous about trying a new therapy. Rest assured, we never rush into dry needling on the first visit. Instead, we take the time to build a trusting relationship with our patients, exploring alternative approaches to achieve the best possible results. Our compassionate team will address any concerns, ensuring comfort throughout care.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Dry Needling Hurt?

Dry needling is typically well-tolerated, with minimal discomfort. When performed by our skilled practitioner, you may only feel slight pressure from the guide tube rather than the needle itself. Occasionally, a mild sting may occur, but most patients report very little sensation.

Are There Side Effects?

Dry needling may cause temporary soreness, similar to the feeling after a workout as it stimulates muscle healing. We start with one or two muscles to see how your body responds and adjust from there, ensuring it aligns with your comfort and goals.

What Conditions Can Dry Needling Help With?

This therapy can relieve various chronic pain conditions and muscle issues, including:

  • Chronic neck and shoulder pain
  • Headaches and migraines
  • Chronic knee discomfort
  • Elbow tendonitis and carpal tunnel

How Is Dry Needling Different From Acupuncture?

While both use fine needles, dry needling targets muscle and tendons rather than nerve points. By triggering a healing response, it provides a direct approach to reducing muscle pain and stiffness.
