Our licensed physical therapists provide dry needling as part of your treatment plan. Dry needle therapy helps reduce muscle pain at the trigger points or referred pain. It can help you with chronic tension, spasms, or soreness in your muscles, tendons, ligaments, or even with migraines and tension headaches.
Dry needling is similar to acupuncture. It uses a thin needle to penetrate the skin, inserted at myofascial trigger points, to create a local twitch response (LTR) in the muscle.
Dry needling can treat:
- Entrapment syndromes
- Sprain/strain injuries
- Tendinitis
- Frozen shoulder
- Chronic pain conditions
- Chronic tension-type headaches
- Compartment syndrome
If you are considering to try dry needling therapy, please consult your doctor first. For more information about this treatment, please call us.
