Frequently Asked Questions About Acupuncutre Therapy

We’ve compiled a list of frequently asked questions to help you understand our services. Whether you're new to chiropractic care or looking for more information, we're here to help!

Difference Between Acupuncture and Dry Needling

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that aims to balance the body's energy (Qi) through specific points, while dry needling is a more modern practice focused on relieving muscle pain by targeting trigger points. Both involve needles, but their underlying principles and goals differ. Acupuncture is often used for a variety of conditions, while dry needling specifically addresses musculoskeletal issues.

What can I expect on my first visit?

During your first acupuncture visit, you will undergo a thorough health assessment where the practitioner will review your medical history and discuss your symptoms and health goals. Based on this, a personalised treatment plan will be developed, followed by an initial acupuncture session targeting your key areas of concern. The atmosphere will be calming, and the session will be designed to promote relaxation and healing.

Does Private Health Care Cover Dry Needling?

Private health insurance coverage for dry needling varies depending on your provider and plan. It is recommended to check with your specific health fund to determine if dry needling is included under physiotherapy, acupuncture, or other allied health services. Some plans may offer partial or full reimbursement for this treatment.

Does Acupuncture Hurt?

Acupuncture is generally not painful; most people experience minimal discomfort as the needles are very thin. The sensation is often described as a slight tingling or pressure at the needle site, but it usually subsides quickly. Many patients find the experience relaxing and soothing during the session.
