Dry Needling is a therapy technique that uses fine needles to stimulate a healing response in myofascial trigger points (painful knots in muscles), tendons and ligaments. Dry Needling is not acupuncture or Oriental Medicine; that is, is does not have the purpose of altering the flow of energy along traditional Chinese meridians for the treatments of disease. If fact, Dry Needling is a modern, science based intervention for the treatment of pain and dysfunction of musculoskeletal conditions.

​Dysfunctional tissues can contribute to pain or decreased muscle function. During the treatment,
​one or more needles are placed at or near the problem area. Successful treatments promote healing, decrease pain, increase flexibility, and improve muscle function. 

Some of the problems which can be treated:

​* Neck Pain
* Knee Pain
* Back Pain
* Rotator Cuff Impingement 
* Carpel Tunnel Syndrome 
* Headaches
* Frozen Shoulder
* Plantar Fasciitis
​* Muscle Tendonitis 

While dry needling can be slightly painful and cause some soreness, when done appropriately by a trained professional,
​it will result in notable improvements.
