Effective acupuncture and dry needling treatment in Byron Bay
Acupuncture and Dry Needling have been found to be a very effective treatment for a wide range of musculoskeletal-related pain and symptoms. Acupuncture involves inserting very thin needles into the skin at precise pressure points in order to generate an analgesic - or painkilling effect along with other benefits such as muscle relaxation.
While acupuncture in combination with chiropractic treatment can be advantageous for a variety of problems, there are primarily three areas that are found to have great benefit from a combination of acupuncture and chiropractic - neck pain, headaches or migraine, and low back pain.
Neck Pain
Various studies suggest the application of acupuncture for controlling neck pain, especially if it is chronic. Patients with neck pain who received manual therapy along with other modalities, including acupuncture, have found reduction in pain, improved overall satisfaction, better function and range of motion, and increased strength.
Headaches or Migraine
Acupuncture has been found to be effective in reducing the frequency and/or duration of headaches and migraines.
Low Back Pain
It was discovered recently that for chronic low back pain, acupuncture was found to be effective for pain relief and functional improvement compared to treatment or low-scale “sham” treatment. Studies support that acupuncture would also be a great addition to other therapies for cases of chronic low back pain. In other words, when it’s used in combination with other conventional therapies, it tends to ease pain and enhance function better than conventional therapies alone.
