Dry needling and Chinese cupping might be all the rage right now in Australia, but they are not new concepts. These alternative therapies have been part of Traditional Chinese Medicine for over 8,000 years. In fact, historical medical texts show that cupping therapy dates back to ancient Egypt 1500 BC. 

History aside, both Chinese cupping and dry needling offer plenty of benefits. What’s more, you’ll be glad to know that we offer unmatched Chinese cupping in Bundaberg. If you also need top-notch dry needling or Acupuncture in Bundaberg, we’ve got you covered!

First Things First: What is Dry Needling?

Dry needling is a form of therapy that makes use of tiny, solid-centre needles to relieve muscle aches and pains. If you have received acupuncture in Bundaberg, then you might have a rough idea of what dry needling is. Nonetheless, there are fundamental differences between the two.

Dry needling uses precise intramuscular stimulation to promote healing, relieve pain, and enhance a range of motion. More importantly, this technique doesn’t make use of any drugs or medication. How is it different from our acupuncture in Bundaberg? 

Acupuncture is based on the TCM premise that life generates energy (called Chi or Qi) that flows through our body along particular pathways (called meridians). As such, any blockage, interruption or slow-down of chi can lead to ailments and pain. Thankfully, our dry needling in Bundaberg helps unblock and release the flow of chi.

How Will Receiving High-Quality Dry Needling in Bundaberg Help Me?

Our dry needling sessions at our Bundaberg massage clinic help break down tight tendons, muscles, trigger points, and other sources of chronic pains. If you suffer from any kind of pain that travels, muscular tension, and pains in your arms, shoulders, wrists, lower back, hamstrings, and so on, you should consider dry needling.

What is Chinese Cupping?

Chinese cupping is a technique in which our Bundaberg therapists place small cups on your skin to cause suction. Usually made of bamboo, earthenware, silicone or glass, these cups help break up stagnation and congestion of energy (chi), blood, and a plethora of other humors. More often than not, our specialist combine Chinese cupping and dry needling in Bundaberg. However, it can be effective on its own.
