Dry needling is a physical therapy treatment that uses a fine filament needle, directly inserted into the muscle, to treat musculoskeletal and neuromuscular conditions. Our Doctors of Physical Therapy are specially trained in dry needling.
The needle creates a micro lesion in the tissue as it is inserted. This lesion causes a cellular response, which reduces muscle tension, normalizes inflammatory responses, and decreases pain.

Headaches
Neck and back pain
