Dry Needling Serving Smithfield
Smithfield was established in 1836 as the first major settlement in the Fairfield district, named after the historic cattle markets of London and Dublin, with saleyards opening in 1841. Once dotted with dairies and market gardens, it now forms part of the Smithfield-Wetherill Park Industrial Estate alongside established residential streets. Smithfield locals are a short drive from our Chipping Norton clinic, the founding home of Activ Therapy for over 30 years, where our physiotherapists, chiropractors and massage therapists treat back pain, workplace injuries and sporting strains, with HICAPS on-site for instant 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.

Dry Needling near Smithfield — 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.
