Condition
Dry Needling in Canberra
Dry needling is used at NeoPhysio as part of a broader treatment approach to release muscle tension, reduce pain and improve movement — never as a standalone treatment.
Who is this treatment for?
Adults with muscle-related pain such as trigger points contributing to neck, back, shoulder or lower limb symptoms.
What symptoms does it help?
- Focal muscle tightness or tender 'knots'
- Referred pain from muscle trigger points
- Persistent muscle guarding around an injury
When should you see a physiotherapist?
When muscle-related pain is contributing to your condition and you and Adam agree dry needling is likely to help alongside your other treatment.
What happens during treatment?
Sterile single-use fine needles are inserted into specific muscle points, usually with only brief discomfort. It is always combined with hands-on therapy and a home exercise plan.
How long does recovery usually take?
Effects vary from immediate to 24–48 hours post-treatment. Dry needling supports — but does not replace — active rehabilitation.
