Dry Needling Services

Dry needling is a therapeutic technique used by physical therapists and other health professionals to treat musculoskeletal issues and pain. The process involves inserting thin needles into specific trigger points or tight bands within muscles, tendons, ligaments, or near nerves to alleviate pain and improve function.

As the filament needle is inserted into a trigger point, it creates a microlesion in the tissue. The resulting inflammation triggers the nervous system to respond and blood flow is increased to the area. This brings with it increased oxygen and nutrients to promote healing and helps to remove toxins. Neurotransmitters and endorphins may also be released, leading to a reduction of pain signals and ultimate pain relief.
Patients often experience these benefits from dry needling treatment:
Increased range of motion
Reduced pain
Restored muscle function
Faster recovery from injury
Reduced dependence on pain medication
