About Tauranga Physiotherapy
Acupuncture and Dry Needling
Acupuncture refers to the insertion of fine, single-use, sterile needles into a body part in order to create a change in symptoms. At Tauranga Physiotherapy we practice Western Acupuncture which utilises traditional meridian points but applies Western scientific reasoning in regards to neurophysiology and anatomy. Multiple needles are used and they are placed in the body for 10-30 mins. Acupuncture is used for pain relief, reduction of swelling, healing or to promote general well-being. A large range of conditions can all be appropriately treated with acupuncture, such as: acute injuries, trigger points, whiplash, back pain, neck pain, headaches, chronic injuries, stress-related aches, osteoarthritis and joint pain.
Dry needling is performed using only one single-use, sterile needle which is rapidly moved around in a taut band of an affected muscle in order to produce a twitch response. This technique is aimed at restoring or improving muscle function. Dry needling can improve pain control, reduce muscle tension and normalise dysfunctions of the motor end plates, the sites at which nerve impulses are transmitted to muscles. This can help speed up the patient’s return to active rehabilitation.

She had a lovely manner and fixed my bad back after 3 sessions. I have never referred a physio before but I have referred Sarah to 3 of my friends.
