Chronic Pain Physio Perth
At Perth Physio Precinct, we provide professional dry needling in Perth to help aid in your recovery from pain and injury. Our qualified physiotherapists use dry needling alongside proven treatment methods. The aim is simple: reduce pain, improve mobility, and restore function so you can get back to daily life, work, or sport.
We see many patients who have tried stretches, rest, or even medication without full relief. Dry needling physio sessions give your body another way to reset and heal.
Chronic Pain Management Through Physiotherapy
Chronic pain management through physiotherapy gives you more than short-term relief. While medications and rest can sometimes dull pain, they rarely address the root causes or the movement patterns that keep pain going. Physiotherapy provides a structured plan that targets your muscles, joints, and nervous system while also supporting your lifestyle.
Our focus is on evidence-based care. We use physiotherapy techniques proven to help with long-term pain conditions. We work with you to manage your symptoms, improve your function, and give you the tools you need to move forward with confidence.
Understanding Chronic Pain
Chronic pain is pain that persists for more than three months. Unlike acute pain, which warns you of injury, chronic pain continues even after healing. This makes it complex and difficult to manage without the right support.
Common conditions linked to chronic pain include:
- Ongoing back or neck pain
- Arthritis and joint degeneration
- Nerve pain from sciatica or neuropathy
- Pain following surgery or trauma
- Fibromyalgia and other widespread pain disorders
- Recurrent headaches and jaw pain
You may notice that pain affects more than your physical comfort. Many people also experience fatigue, sleep disturbance, stress, and reduced mobility. This cycle can make pain feel worse. Our physiotherapy for chronic pain helps break this cycle by addressing both physical and lifestyle factors.
Our Approach to Chronic Pain Management
We know no two people experience pain in the same way. That’s why your treatment starts with a detailed assessment. We take the time to understand your medical history, pain triggers, and how pain impacts your daily life.
Your management plan is then tailored to your goals. It may include:
- Hands-on physiotherapy to release tight muscles, improve circulation, and restore mobility.
- Exercise therapy designed to strengthen weak areas, support joints, and reduce flare-ups.
- Movement retraining to improve how you sit, stand, and move throughout the day.
- Lifestyle strategies to reduce the overall impact of pain.

FAQs
Is chronic pain management through physiotherapy effective?
Yes. Research supports physiotherapy as one of the most effective non-drug approaches for chronic pain. It helps reduce pain intensity, restore function, and improve quality of life.
How long will chronic pain treatment take?
Progress depends on your condition and goals. Some people feel improvement after a few sessions, while others need a longer program. Consistency is important for lasting change.
Can physiotherapy reduce my need for medication?
Many people find that working with a chronic pain physio reduces their reliance on pain medication. However, we always recommend working closely with your doctor when making changes to medication.
How is it different from remedial massage?
Remedial massage works on the surface of muscles. Dry needling targets deep trigger points that are harder to release with hands alone.
Can I exercise after dry needling?
Yes. You might feel mild soreness, but many people continue normal activity. Your physio will give you advice specific to your situation.
Is chronic pain physio different from regular physiotherapy?
Yes. While regular physiotherapy often focuses on short-term injuries, chronic pain physio targets long-term conditions. It includes education and long-term management tools.
What if I have chronic pain flare-ups?
Flare-ups are common in chronic pain. Your physio will help you recognise early warning signs and use strategies to reduce their intensity and duration.
