Dry Needling
Dry needling uses a thin monofilament needle to penetrate the skin and treat underlying musculoskeletal injuries, improve blood flow, restore collagen formation, and decrease pain. Physical therapists that utilize dry needling will always perform a thorough assessment to identify the source of your pain and determine if dry needling is appropriate. Treatment is often supplemented with other manual therapy techniques (massage, stretching, joint mobilization) and corrective exercise to correct for imbalances in strength or motion that are causing your symptoms.
