Dry Needling Serving Padstow
Padstow takes its name from the Cornish town of Padstow and has a quirky local landmark in its Egyptian-themed streets near the station, including Cairo Avenue, Pyramid Avenue and Sphinx Avenue, laid out after the railway arrived in 1931. The suburb is also known as home of the swim school where Olympic champion Ian Thorpe first learned to swim. Bordered by Salt Pan Creek and the Georges River, Padstow is a short drive from our Moorebank clinic, where our physiotherapists, chiropractors, and massage therapists treat sports injuries, chronic pain, and post-surgical recovery with one-on-one care and HICAPS on-site.
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.

Dry Needling near Padstow — Questions Answered
Does dry needling hurt?+
You may feel a brief dull ache when the needle reaches the trigger point. Most patients find the sensation manageable and experience significant relief after treatment.
Is dry needling the same as acupuncture?+
No. Dry needling is based on Western anatomy targeting myofascial trigger points. Acupuncture is based on Traditional Chinese Medicine. Both use fine needles but the approach differs.
How many sessions will I need?+
Many patients notice improvement within 1–3 sessions. Dry needling is often combined with physiotherapy or chiropractic for best results.
