Dry Needling Serving Westmead
Westmead is best known for the Westmead Health Precinct, anchored by Westmead Hospital (opened 1978) and the Children's Hospital at Westmead, alongside a University of Sydney campus supporting around 2,000 students and staff in clinical training and research. Given this concentration of medical services, our Winston Hills clinic on Lomond Crescent offers Westmead patients, staff and families a nearby private option for physiotherapy, chiropractic or massage therapy. With one-on-one appointments and on-site HICAPS claiming, we make it simple to fit treatment for back pain, post-surgical recovery or chronic conditions around a busy schedule.
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.
