Dry needling is a modern, research-based technique where fine, sterilized needles are inserted into myofascial trigger points, tendons, ligaments, scar tissue, or near nerves to stimulate a healing response. Inserting a needle into trigger points can cause favorable biochemical changes which assist in reducing pain. Stimulating a trigger point with a needle helps draw normal blood supply back to the area and release tension.
What will my First Session Consist of?
Your first session will consist of a full body assessment with a physical therapist, which may include dry needling. Your therapist will determine your plan of care based on this initial assessment.
Is Dry Needling Safe?
Dry needling is a very safe treatment performed by a certified physical therapist using sterile, single-use needles. Our trained professionals will determine the most appropriate areas to needle based on patient history, movement assessment, palpation, and clinical expertise.
