Dry Needling Therapy in Brisbane

Dry needling treatment – Doctor preparing to insert needle into patient’s bare back

At Angel Chiropractic, we are committed to providing comprehensive and innovative therapies to enhance your well-being. One of the techniques we offer is Dry Needling—a safe, effective treatment that can complement your chiropractic care.

Dry Needling is a therapeutic technique involving the insertion of thin, solid needles into specific points of the body, called trigger points or myofascial knots.

While both Dry Needling and acupuncture use thin needles, they are based on different principles.

  • Dry Needling is rooted in Western medicine and focuses on musculoskeletal issues such as muscle pain and joint dysfunction. It’s often integrated into chiropractic care for a more comprehensive approach.
  • Acupuncture, based on Eastern medicine, seeks to balance the body’s energy flow or “qi” and may address a wider range of health concerns.

The main aim of Dry Needling is to release tension and promote healing in muscle tissue. When needles are inserted into trigger points, they stimulate a reflex response that helps:

Dry Needling may help with:

  • Muscle pain and tension – Targeting tight or spasmodic muscles to encourage relaxation
  • Joint dysfunction – Restoring mobility and function
  • Myofascial pain syndrome – Addressing trigger points in the fascia

During a session, you might feel mild discomfort or a “twitch response.” This is a positive sign that the muscle is reacting to the treatment. Many patients notice improvement after just a few visits, although individual results vary.

We often integrate Dry Needling into our chiropractic treatment plans. By addressing both skeletal and muscular components, we can:

  • Speed up recovery
  • Reduce pain
  • Improve long-term mobility and function

If you have muscle tightness, pain, or limited movement, Dry Needling might be a great addition to your care plan. Our experienced chiropractor will assess your needs and discuss whether it’s suitable for you.

I had an amazing experience with Angel . From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and comfortable. Angle took the time to listen to my concerns and thoroughly explained the treatment plan. The adjustments were gentle yet effective, and I noticed a significant improvement in my pain after just a few sessions. The staff is also incredibly friendly and professional, making each visit a pleasure. I highly recommend Angel to anyone seeking top-notch chiropractic care!
