Synergy Physiotherapy + Pilates

acupuncture

Our physiotherapists use a combination of western acupuncture and dry needling as an adjunct to physiotherapy. As treatment is delivered by a physiotherapist, your rebate would be taken from the physiotherapy allocated funds from your health fund.

The following exert is taken from the Australia Society of Acupuncture Physiotherapists guidelines:

Dry Needling involves needling to altered or dysfunctional tissues in order to improve or restore function. This may include needling of myofascial trigger points and periosteum.

Western Acupuncture utilises meridian points but applies it to ‘western’ reasoning with particular consideration to relevant neurophysiology and anatomy. Points are stimulates to create local, spinal segmental or supraspinal pain modulation effects.

At Synergy Physiotherapy and Pilates Brisbane only single use disposable needles are utilised to ensure infection control.
