Dry Needling &
Acupuncture
Experience the therapeutic benefits of dry needling and acupuncture at our Prospect, Adelaide clinic. Our experienced physiotherapists Caitlyn, Chrissy, and Zeenia specialise in both techniques to alleviate pain, reduce muscle tension, and promote natural healing. Whether you're managing chronic pain, recovering from injury, or seeking relief from muscle tightness, dry needling and acupuncture offer effective, evidence-based treatment that complements your physiotherapy care.
-
Acupuncture and dry needling stimulate your body's natural pain-relieving response, reducing inflammation and discomfort. Whether you're dealing with chronic pain, sports injuries, or muscle tension, dry needling can often bringing relief where other treatments haven't.
-
Both acupuncture and dry needling increase blood circulation to affected areas, delivering oxygen and nutrients that accelerate tissue repair. At our Prospect clinic, we use these therapies to speed up recovery from injury and enhance the results of your physiotherapy treatment.
-
Dry needling targets tight muscle knots and trigger points that cause pain and restrict movement. Combined with acupuncture's whole-body approach, these therapies release deep muscle tension and restore mobility — helping you move freely again without relying on medication.
-
Acupuncture and dry needling work beautifully alongside physiotherapy, massage, Pilates, and exercise. At our Adelaide clinic, our practitioners coordinate your care, ensuring each therapy builds on the last, giving you faster, longer-lasting results and taking real control of your health.

Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese practice that stimulates specific points to balance energy and promote healing throughout your body. Dry needling is a Western physio technique that targets muscle trigger points to release tension and reduce pain. Both are effective and your extend studio practitioner will recommend which suits your condition best.

The needles are very fine, so most people feel minimal discomfort, often just a slight sensation as the needle enters. Many patients find it surprisingly relaxing. If you're anxious about needles, chat with our team beforehand and we'll walk you through what to expect and make you comfortable!

This varies depending on your condition and how your body responds. Some people feel relief after one session, while others benefit from a course of 4-6 sessions. Our Adelaide acupuncture practitioners will assess your progress and recommend a treatment plan tailored to you at your first appointment.

Many private health funds cover acupuncture and dry needling, especially when delivered by a physiotherapist. Coverage varies by provider and your level of cover. We recommend checking with your insurer or chatting with our Adelaide dry needling team can help.
