Evidence varies by condition. Some recent guideline reviews support acupuncture for certain musculoskeletal pains (e.g., low back, neck/shoulder, some osteoarthritis), while other Australian guidance finds limited benefit for knee/hip OA compared with sham. Your GP/physio will advise if it’s suitable for you.
Generally safe when performed by trained clinicians using single-use, sterile needles and proper infection-control. Minor temporary effects (e.g., small bruise, light-headedness) can occur. Tell your clinician if you’re pregnant or take blood thinners.
“Acupuncturist” is a protected title—only Ahpra-registered practitioners may use it in advertising or represent themselves as such. (Other health professionals may use needling techniques but cannot use the protected title unless registered.)
Australian law bars health-service advertising that uses testimonials or creates an unreasonable expectation of benefit. We provide balanced information and discuss likely outcomes with you in consult.
We review your symptoms and goals, check medical history/medicines, discuss options and consent, then (if appropriate) place single-use sterile needles for a set time. You may feel a dull ache/tingle but it shouldn’t be sharp pain.
Plans are individual. Some people notice change within a few sessions; others need a short course integrated with exercise-based rehab. We’ll set checkpoints to review progress.
Usually as part of a multimodal plan (graded exercise, load management, self-care). Your clinic also provides Rehabilitation Services/Sports Physio, so care can be coordinated.
Both use fine needles, but acupuncture comes from Traditional Chinese Medicine and may target broader patterns; dry needling focuses on muscular trigger points and is often done by physios. Your clinician will recommend what suits you.
No fasting. Eat a light meal, wear comfy clothing, and bring your medication list (especially blood thinners) plus any imaging/reports.
History, suitability and follow-ups can often start by phone/video, but treatment itself is in-person.
Yes—clinicians follow national infection-prevention guidelines for acupuncture and NSW skin-penetration rules (e.g., single-use sterile needles, sharps disposal, hygiene).
Sometimes. Medicare rebates apply when a medical practitioner provides acupuncture and holds the required acupuncture endorsement/registration (MBS items 193, 195, 197, 199). If acupuncture is delivered by a non-medical provider, it’s generally private. Ask reception about any gap.
