What is dry needling and how can it help?

As a performance physical therapist, I understand how frustrating it can be to deal with pain that keeps you from staying active and feeling like yourself. It seems like you’ve tried everything but the pain is still there, and you’re not sure what to do next. Sometimes traditional methods don’t quite get you there. That’s where dry needling might be just what you need to get back on track.

What Is Dry Needling?

How Can Dry Needling Help You?

Whether you’re dealing with low back, shoulder, or knee pain, dry needling can help address the root cause of your pain. Often, muscle tightness & imbalances contribute to pain in these areas. Dry needling helps relieve muscle tension and improves blood flow to the area, which helps your body heal and function better.

How Does Dry Needling Fit Into Your Recovery Plan?

Dry needling is not a “quick fix”. It’s a powerful tool to be used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan. It can accelerate your healing and get you back to the activities you love — whether that’s running, yoga, or lifting weights.
