At Lake Gwelup Physiotherapy, we offer dry needling therapy as part of our approach to treating musculoskeletal pain and injuries. Dry needling uses fine acupuncture needles inserted into targeted soft tissue areas to relieve pain, reduce muscle tightness, and promote recovery.
Unlike traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture, which is based on meridian theory, dry needling is a Western medicine technique focused on improving musculoskeletal function and alleviating pain.
Our physiotherapists are trained through Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA)-accredited dry needling programs and complete regular professional development to ensure the safest, most effective techniques for our patients.
Dry needling can assist with:
- Muscle tension and trigger points
- Sports injuries and overuse conditions
- Neck and back pain
- Headaches associated with muscle tension
- TMJ/Jaw pain
Whether you are recovering from injury or experiencing chronic muscle pain, our physiotherapists can incorporate dry needling into your personalised care.
