YOU Could Find Relief with Our Dry Needling Services
Have You Heard of the Many Benefits of Dry Needling?
Did you know that dry needling could help relieve many types of pain? During treatments, a licensed physical therapist will guide a sterile needle through the affected area(s) of the body.
The needles used during these treatment sessions are inserted through the skin, into the underlying tendons, ligaments, or muscles that have been affected by your injury or painful condition. This helps relieve pain, decrease muscle tension, and improve mobility.

Defining dry needling
To really get to the root of what dry needling is, you need a strong definition to explain. According to the American Physical Therapy Association, here is what it is defined as:
“Dry needling is a skilled intervention that uses a thin filiform needle to penetrate the skin and stimulate underlying myofascial trigger points, muscular, and connective tissues for the management of neuromusculoskeletal pain and movement impairments. [It] is a technique used to treat dysfunctions in skeletal muscle, fascia, and connective tissue, and to diminish persistent peripheral nociceptive input, and reduce or restore impairments in body structure and function, leading to improved activity and participation.”
As you can see, there is no streamlined use for this treatment method – it can treat a wide variety of conditions and improve an even wider variety of impairments! If you are living with pain or discomfort, chances are dry needling can help.
