Dry Needling

Dry Needling is an alternative treatment option for pain relief and improved muscle movement. It is a skilled technique that uses a small, thin, solid needle inserted through the skin and/or underlying tissues to affect change in body structures and functions for the evaluation and management of neuromusculoskeletal conditions, pain, movement impairments and disability. The goal is to relieve pain locally or referred into another area, and/or to improve range of motion.

Dry Needling is a technique that compliments a larger, comprehensive treatment plan. Patients who receive treatment with dry needling often report immediate pain relief and see an improvement with movement and daily function.
