What can I gain from therapy?

There is a large variety of musculoskeletal issues that can be treated with this therapy.

When paired with our traditional exercise-based physical therapy treatments and advanced manual therapy techniques, we have found that the vast majority of our patients achieved the pain-free goals they were aiming towards.

After conducting a comprehensive evaluation to assess the nature of your condition, our therapist will let you know the best course of treatment for you.

We have treated several diverse conditions, from chronic pain sufferers to athletes experiencing delayed onset muscle soreness with this effective therapy.

Will I experience discomfort with the therapy?
Most of our patients report feeling little to no discomfort when undergoing treatments. Our highly-trained physical therapists know how to make the process as painless as possible; however, some patients may still experience a "twitch response" with the insertion of the needle. This is comparable to a quick muscle cramp or ache. The 24-48 hours following a treatment may also result in muscle soreness, which should go away on its own. Sore muscles can be treated at home by applying ice and/or heat packs and drinking plenty of fluids.

So, what does dry needling do?

This treatment method is used by our licensed therapists as a way to relieve pain.

When performing therapy, our physical therapist will insert a sterile solid acupuncture needle through the skin, into the underlying tendons, ligaments, or muscles that have been affected, in order to relieve pain, decrease muscle tension, and improve mobility.

While it is a common misconception, dry needling is not quite acupuncture. It is based on a modern scientific study of musculoskeletal and neuromuscular systems.

While there are some similarities, dry needling is strictly based on Western medicine principles and research.

It provides an environment that enhances the body’s ability to heal, ultimately reducing pain in the process.
