About Dry Needling

What Is Dry Needling and How Does It Work?

Dry needling physiotherapy Bexley North and Marrickville PHYZFIT

Dry needling is a technique used by our physiotherapists at PHYZFIT in Bexley North and Marrickville to treat muscle pain, tightness and dysfunction. Thin sterile needles are inserted into myofascial trigger points, tight hypersensitive knots within muscle tissue that cause local and referred pain.

The needle stimulates a twitch response in the muscle, releasing tension, improving blood flow and reducing the chemical irritants that sensitise pain receptors. Our dry needling physio team always combines this technique with manual therapy and exercise for lasting results.

If you are looking for dry needling near you in the St George area or the inner west, PHYZFIT Bexley North and Marrickville has appointments available today.

⚡

Trigger Point Release

Precise needle insertion into myofascial trigger points stimulates a twitch response, achieving immediate muscle release and tension relief.

🧠

Pain Reduction

Dry needling reduces the chemical irritants in trigger points that sensitise pain receptors, providing fast and significant pain relief.

🏃

Restored Movement

By releasing tight muscle bands, dry needling quickly restores range of motion restricted by chronic muscle tightness or injury.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Dry Needling

Most patients feel minimal discomfort during needle insertion. You may feel a brief twitch or dull ache when the needle contacts the trigger point. This is a normal and positive sign that the right spot has been targeted. Any soreness afterwards is usually mild and resolves within 24 to 48 hours. Our physiotherapists at PHYZFIT Bexley North and Marrickville are experienced in making dry needling as comfortable as possible.
Both use thin acupuncture needles but the approach is fundamentally different. Dry needling is based on Western anatomy, neuroscience and musculoskeletal research. It specifically targets myofascial trigger points to treat pain and movement dysfunction. Acupuncture is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine and targets energy meridians for broader wellness. At PHYZFIT our physiotherapists practise dry needling, not acupuncture.
This depends on your condition, how long you have had it and how your body responds. Some patients get significant relief in one or two sessions. Others need ongoing dry needling as part of a broader rehabilitation program. Your PHYZFIT physiotherapist will give you a clear treatment timeline at your first appointment so you always know what to expect.
Dry needling performed as part of a physiotherapy session is covered by most private health funds with physiotherapy extras cover. At PHYZFIT Bexley North and Marrickville we accept all major health funds including Medibank, Bupa, HCF and NIB. You can claim your health fund on the spot using HICAPS. No paperwork needed.
Minor bruising, temporary muscle soreness and occasionally mild light headedness are the most common side effects and are completely normal. These typically resolve within 24 to 48 hours. Serious adverse events are extremely rare when dry needling is performed by trained physiotherapists as it is at PHYZFIT.

Do not leave this untreated. Many patients tell us they wished they had come in sooner. The longer muscle trigger points are left untreated the more embedded the pain patterns become and the longer recovery takes. Our dry needling physio team at PHYZFIT has appointments available now at Bexley North and Marrickville.
