Point 2 Point Physiotherapy offers dry needling in Oakleigh. Our team believes that dry needling is an effective and efficient technique for the treatment of muscular pain and myofascial dysfunction.

Dry needling treatment is not at all similar to acupuncture as it involves inserting fine, sterile acupuncture needles into “trigger points” of muscles. A trigger point is a hyperirritable point within a muscle. Trigger points are tender on compression and can give rise to distinctive referred pain.

Research indicates that needle manipulation by the dry needling practitioner can cause corrective tissue displacement which may induce changes in surrounding myofascia.

The rate of healing and the number of dry needling treatment sessions you require depends on the condition of your muscles and the amount of irritation caused by trigger points. If the pain is recent you may only need one or two treatments, however more chronic pain may require more treatments.

Our dry needling techniques are refined as we have the best experts at our disposal. Our experts can stimulate a certain amount of healing until the pain disappears and the condition is healed.
