Dry Needling

This is a unique treatment that we offer to patients with a variety of conditions. Just some of the benefits include decreasing pain on an acute and chronic level, promoting healing, increase range of motion and function.

Dry Needling is known as intra-muscular manual therapy and is the use of monofilament (very small) needles inserted through the skin into muscles, tendons, ligaments and/ or close to the nerves to reduce pain. Typically the needling is into the myofascial trigger points. These are painful “knots” in tight muscle tissue. The “painful knots” are related to the production and maintenance of the pain cycle.

Dry needling is an effective treatment for acute and chronic pain, rehabilitation from injury, and even pain and injury prevention, with very few side effects. This technique is unequaled in finding and eliminating neuromuscular dysfunction that leads to pain and functional deficits.
