Dry needling FAQs
Questions about dry needling
What clients ask before their first session at Driftwood.
Does dry needling hurt?
Most clients feel a quick, dull ache as the needle finds the muscle knot, then a release of tension. Your therapist explains what to expect before starting.
How is dry needling different from acupuncture?
Dry needling targets tight muscle knots and trigger points to release tension. Our therapists often use it alongside remedial and sports massage.
Can I claim dry needling on my health fund?
Most clients claim their rebate on the spot after their appointment. Check your level of cover with your fund for dry needling specifically.
Do I need a referral?
No referral is needed. You can book directly for dry needling or combine it with a remedial or sports massage session.
How soon can I get an appointment?
We offer appointments the same week, with early starts and late finishes on weekdays and Saturday hours too.
Will dry needling leave bruising?
Some clients notice mild tenderness or light bruising at the needle site, which settles within a day or two. Your therapist talks you through aftercare.
