Dry needling is a therapeutic technique used to help reduce muscle pain and dysfunction. It’s similar to acupuncture but has been developed around Western science, using neurophysiological and anatomical principles. It’s fast and efficient, perfect for people who may be sensitive to the sometimes stronger pressure required to manually relieve muscle tightness and pain. Our dry needling Cairns treatments are used in conjunction with other modailities to provide relief and enhanced muscle function, whilst supporting you on your journey to optimal health and wellness.
Our dry needling Cairns treatments are particularly effective for treating chronic pain, sports injuries, tension headaches and muscle tightness. Athletes find it useful for maintaining peak performance and speeding up recovery, while office workers and individuals with sedentary lifestyles benefit from its ability to relieve stress and improve mobility. Even those with conditions like sciatica and fibromyalgia can experience significant pain reduction, with our dry needling Cairns treatments.
Prior to commencing your Cairns dry needling treatment, our skilled practitioners will begin by thoroughly evaluating your medical history, current symptoms, and specific areas of concern. This detailed assessment helps us understand your unique needs and develop a personalized approach, for you. During the actual dry needling Cairns treatment itself, a thin, sterile needle/s is gently inserted into targeted muscle areas to release tension and promote healing. You may experience immediate relief and improved muscle function.
