Our Physiotherapists are highly experienced in applying Acupuncture (under the paradigms of Dry Needling and Western Acupuncture), as a method for providing pain relief and assisting in injury rehabilitation. They follow strict protocols developed by the Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA).

Acupuncture is used by our Physiotherapists as a stand-alone treatment or as an effective adjunct to other physiotherapy or medical treatments. Generally, it is used to lessen musculoskeletal pain and improve injury recovery time.

Acupuncture can assist with:

• Increased blood flow to muscle
• Reduced spasticity caused by stroke
• Neck and shoulder mysofascial trigger point release
• Reduce headache pain
• Temporomandibular (jaw) myofascial pain
• Improved neck movement and pain
• Improved low back pain
• Fibromyalgia (widespread musculoskeletal pain accompanied by fatigue, sleep, memory and mood issues)
• Positive expectation and outlook increases analgesic affect
• Analgesic effect in arthritic joints
