Dry Needling Randwick
Dry Needling is a rebranded form of Acupuncture. It has a modern bio-medicine perspective on how acupuncture works.
We , in Randwick Acupuncture Clinic, use the Dry Needling methods with Chinese medicine aspects and use this term of Dry Needling to help patients feel more comfortable and help them understand more about Acupuncture.
Dry Needling is known as "myofascial trigger points or intramuscular stimulation (IMS)" mostly treating trigger points. The origin of the term came from Jannet Travell and David Simons from their book- Myofascial pain and Dysfunction: Trigger Point Manual- in the early 1940s.
Although on the other hand, according to the modern scientific evidence (The Acupuncture Evidence Project - A Comparative Literature Review 2017: www.acupuncture.org.au), acupuncture can treat wide range of diseases and conditions.
Many clients ask us what is Dry Needling and how it is different from Acupuncture.
First of all, Dry Needling practitioners study somewhere from 16 hours to 65 hours to offer the treatment to the public with no requirements.
Although acupuncturists require a 4 year Bachelors degree and are regulated under the Australian Health Practitioner Agency (AHPRA) and the Chinese Medicine Board of Australia (CMBA).
Jin (Jin Choi) is AHPRA registered Chinese medicine practitioner therefore you can ensure that you will get the best level of treatment with the highest level of safety in the Randwick Acupuncture Clinic.
