Dry Needling

Dry needling is a technique our physical therapist uses to treat myofascial pain. The technique uses a dry needle, or one without medication or injection, inserted through the skin into areas of the muscle, known as trigger points. Physical therapists use dry needling with the goal of releasing or inactivating trigger points to relieve pain or improve range of motion.

We are level 1, 2 and pelvic floor certified dry needling specialists through Kinetacore.
