Dry-Needling in Oakleigh, Kew and Preston
When it comes to relieving pain, a popular approach is dry-needling. This form of health care is becoming more widely used by physiotherapists and podiatrists for treating pain and muscle aches. Our professional team sees patients discomfort alleviated and reduced symptoms from associated nerve issues in conjunction with other physiotherapy and podiatry treatments.
This form of treatment is safe, and we use individually packaged, sterile, single-use needles. It is rare for bleeding or bruising to occur; however, some patients may feel a very brief pain that some patients describe as a small electric shock.
Some common conditions that we use treat include:
-
Joint problems
-
Muscle tension
-
Swelling
-
Neck Pain
-
Migraine and tension headaches
-
Tennis elbow
-
Sports and foot injuries
-
Lower back pain.
Treatment is generally for 5 to 15 minutes at a time, depending on what a patient's individual healing plan requires. Repeating sessions enable the therapy to take ample effect and enable ongoing maintenance, especially when used in conjunction with methods like shockwave therapy.
How It Works
The process is relatively simple, involving the gentle insertion of fine, short, stainless steel needles into the skin to ease muscular pain. They are referred to as "dry" because they don't inject any fluid into the body.
The needles are placed into "trigger points" of muscle that are generally knotted or are areas of pain to ease and reduce issues associated with muscles and tissue. Other than relieving pain, the small and precise insertion into the skin also benefits our clients by:
-
Improving flexibility
-
Reducing inflammation
-
Improving circulation
-
Increasing range of motion
-
Restoring imbalances from constricted muscles.
