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.

(NEW) COSMETIC DRY NEEDLING

Cosmetic Dry Needling is a relaxing and rejuvenating treatment that aims to improve the texture, tone and appearance of the skin. It has become popular for those looking for a more natural alternative to Cosmetic Injectables.

Treatments involve the placement of multiple ultra-fine Facial Acupuncture Needles into areas including the forehead, around the eyes, mouth, cheeks, jawline and neck. These needles work at the skin level, as well as stimulating the underlying soft tissue and muscles. Benefits include brightening, reduction of fine lines and wrinkles, evening out of skin tone, treatment of acne scarring, and may support symptoms associated with skin conditions such as rosacea.

Cosmetic Facial Dry Needling can be used on healthy skin of all ages as either a stand alone treatment or combined with your regular Dry Needling.

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 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.
