Dry Needling is a form of therapy in which fine needles are inserted into myofascial trigger points (painful knots in muscles), tendons, ligaments, or near nerves in order to stimulate a healing response in painful musculoskeletal conditions. Dry Needling is not acupuncture or Oriental Medicine. It does not have the purpose of altering the flow of energy along traditional Chinese meridians for the treatment of diseases. In fact, dry needling is a modern, science-based, safe intervention for the treatment of pain and dysfunction in musculoskeletal conditions such as:
- Neck pain
- Shoulder Impingement
- Tennis Elbow
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Headaches
- Knee Pain
- Shin Splints
- Plantar Fasciitis
- Low Back Pain
- Hip Pain
