Dry Needling Carina

Targeted Muscle Pain Relief with Trigger Point Therapy

At Revamp Physiotherapy in Carina, Brisbane, we offer dry needling as a specialised treatment to relieve tight muscles, reduce pain, and restore function. Whether you’re experiencing stubborn muscle knots or chronic tension, dry needling may be the solution that gets you moving freely again.

What is Dry Needling?

Dry needling is a clinically proven technique that uses fine, sterile needles to target myofascial trigger points—tight bands of muscle that cause pain, stiffness, or restricted movement.

Unlike acupuncture, which is based on traditional Chinese medicine, dry needling is a modern, evidence-based physiotherapy technique aimed at reducing muscular pain and improving tissue function.

Conditions Dry Needling Can Help With

Dry needling is effective in treating a wide range of musculoskeletal issues, including:

• Muscle tightness and knots

• Neck and shoulder pain

• Headaches and migraines (tension-related)

• Lower back pain

• Gluteal and hip pain

• Sports-related muscle overuse

• Chronic pain conditions (e.g., fibromyalgia)

• Jaw pain or temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJ)

  
  

If you’ve tried massage or stretching with little relief, dry needling can help by reaching deep muscle tension that other treatments can’t access.

Benefits of Dry Needling

• Releases trigger points and muscle knots

• Reduces pain and inflammation

• Improves flexibility and range of motion

• Enhances recovery in sports and injury rehab

• Complements your physiotherapy treatment plan

• Fast, targeted relief with minimal downtime

  
  

What to Expect During a Dry Needling Session

During your session, your physiotherapist will insert very fine needles into identified trigger points or tight muscle bands. You may feel a brief twitch or mild ache, which is a sign that the muscle is relaxing.

Sessions usually last 15–30 minutes, and you may feel relief within 24–48 hours. It’s common to combine dry needling with manual therapy and corrective exercises for optimal results.
