Dry Needling Serving Canley Heights
Canley Heights takes its name from neighbouring Canley Vale, itself named after Canley Grange, the home built by colonial statesman Sir Henry Parkes. Today it's one of Sydney's most vibrant Vietnamese and Cambodian communities, reflected in its restaurants and shops. Canley Heights sits close to our Chipping Norton clinic, the founding home of Activ Therapy for over 30 years, where our physiotherapists, chiropractors and massage therapists provide one-on-one treatment for back pain, headaches and sports injuries, with HICAPS on-site for instant health fund claiming.
Dry needling is a highly effective technique for releasing tight muscle knots (trigger points) that cause localised or referred pain. Using fine acupuncture needles, our trained physiotherapists and chiropractors target specific trigger points to release muscle tension, improve blood flow, and reduce pain. Dry needling is particularly effective for chronic muscle tension, sports injuries, and stubborn pain that hasn't responded to other treatments.
