Dry Needling

What is it?

Dry needling is a highly effective treatment used by our experienced physical therapists to relieve musculoskeletal pain and restore function. Going beyond traditional approaches that focus solely on trigger points, our therapists are trained in an advanced osteopathic technique that incorporates specialized methods like peri-neural and peri-vascular needling, as well as targeted treatment of tendons, ligaments, and joints. These techniques help improve blood flow, break down scar tissue, promote tissue healing, and activate the body’s natural recovery processes for long-lasting relief.

Dry needling has shown remarkable results for a wide range of conditions, such as headaches, jaw pain (TMJ), osteoarthritis, plantar fasciitis, scar tissue issues, and nerve-related pain like sciatica and carpal tunnel syndrome. With a focus on evidencebased practices and precise treatment plans, our therapists customize the care you receive to ensure the most effective outcomes for your musculoskeletal health. Choose dry needling to experience relief and get back to your active lifestyle, pain-free.

Benefits of Dry Needling

• Pain Reduction – Helps alleviate chronic and acute pain by disrupting pain signals.
• Muscle Relaxation – Releases tight muscle bands and trigger points.
• Improved Range of Motion – Reduces muscle stiffness and enhances flexibility.
• Enhanced Healing – Increases blood flow to injured tissues, promoting recovery.
• Complementary to Other Therapies – Often combined with exercise, manual therapy, and rehabilitation techniques for optimal results.

Dry needling is an effective treatment for conditions such as myofascial pain syndrome, tendonitis, headaches, and sports injuries. When performed by trained professionals, it is a safe and minimally invasive method for managing musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction.

Who should get it?

• Dry needling is for individuals experiencing musculoskeletal pain, tightness, or movement restrictions. It is commonly used for:
• Athletes – Helps with sports injuries, muscle recovery, and performance enhancement.
• Individuals with Chronic Pain – Beneficial for conditions like fibromyalgia, myofascial pain syndrome, and chronic muscle tightness.
• Post-Surgical Patients – Aids in recovery by reducing muscle tension and improving mobility.
• People with Movement Dysfunctions – Helps restore normal function in those with joint or muscle imbalances.
• Dry needling is ideal for those seeking a non-invasive, drug-free approach to pain relief and improved mobility when performed by a trained healthcare provider.
