We offer a western form of acupuncture also known as Dry Needling.

It is usually practised by established professionals such as physiotherapists and osteopaths. This form of therapy is particularly effective for musculoskeletal conditions eg. tendinitis, inflammatory conditions, muscle pain, spasm and the release of trigger points. In many cases Dry Needling is used instead of steroid injections to help address focal lesions. For more information please contact one of our therapists.

Is dry needling painful?

In most cases, you may feel a slight prick on the skin—or sometimes nothing at all. When treating a painful or inflamed area, there may be mild discomfort. Your practitioner will communicate with you throughout the procedure and can adjust their technique at any time to ensure your comfort.

How long are the needles left in place?

Needles are typically left in place for 15 to 30 minutes. However, a full session may last between 45 minutes and 1 hour if additional treatment techniques are used.

Will I feel any pain after dry needling?

Some people experience no discomfort at all, while others may have mild soreness at the treatment site that resolves quickly. In rare cases, there may be temporary localised pain or inflammation, which is often considered a normal part of the healing response
