Dry Needling

Dry Needling offers a vast range of benefits in addressing both pain and tissue dysfunction as well as promoting healing and recovery after an injury.

It is an evidence-based intervention that uses tiny filiform needles to penetrate the skin and muscle. This treatment allows our therapists to reach tissues we otherwise wouldn’t be able to due to their location and depth within the body. 

Dry Needling can provide effective pain relief by targeting hyperirritable trigger points and tight muscle bands that are causing stress to surrounding tissues. As muscle fibers relax and trigger points reduce, there is less pressure on surrounding structures allowing for a relief in pain and enhanced mobility.

Typically, patients can see an improvement in their range of motion and flexibility post treatment session. Additionally, Dry Needling has been shown to help accelerate the healing process by stimulating local blood flow and promoting tissue repair. Increased blood flow delivers oxygen and nutrients to the affected area while removing metabolic waste products, promoting tissue healing and reducing inflammation, which are crucial factors in recovering after an injury. Dry Needling is versatile and valuable tool for pain management and rehabilitation. Our physical therapists are certified dry needling practitioners who have undergone extensive coursework to safely and effectively dry needle patients. With its proven benefits and versatile applications, dry needling offers a safe, effective, and drug-free approach to enhancing your physical health and wellness.
