DRY NEEDLING.

Dry needling involves the insertion of fine high grade single use mono filament needles (Acupuncture needles) into the skin and underlying tissues.

There are two main skin piercing modalities in Australia, ‘Traditional Chinese Acupuncture’ and ‘Dry Needling,’ which may also be called ‘Western Acupuncture’ or in some countries ‘Western Medical Acupuncture’. Although all Acupuncture (piercing of skin) involves the insertion of similar or the same needles and may feel the same, there are vast differences in philosophy, physiology, point location, training pathways and professional accreditation.

Dry Needling is generally a post graduate short course in Australia, available to many health care practitioners with prerequisite education in anatomy, physiology and safe clinical practice.

Dry needling is used to treat a range of presentations, such as headaches, musculoskeletal pain, sports injuries, to promote healing and to alleviate stress and tension. Dry Needling can also be used for scar tissue healing.

ELECTROTHERAPY

Dolphin Neurostim is now available in clinic. Unlike the alternating currents (AC) used in traditional TENS units, Dolphin Neurostim units use a micro amp, direct current (DC). DC currents are found in nature and are believed to be more aligned to human physiology. Neurostim is very useful in a treatments such as scar tissue healing and chronic pain. Dolphin stim can be either applied to Acupuncture needles or used as a stand alone treatment. Please note that 2 Dolphin stim units are available in clinic as used in the scar tissue treatment protocol.
