πŸ’₯ Now Offering Dry Needling at STAR Physical Therapy – Covington! πŸ’₯

Clinic Director Alexa McLemore, PT, DPT, is now certified to provide Dry Needling β€” an advanced treatment technique designed to target myofascial trigger points.

πŸ” What is Dry Needling?

Dry Needling involves the use of a very thin, sterile needle inserted into specific muscle tissue. This technique helps:

βœ… Reduce muscle tension
βœ… Improve blood flow to the treated area
βœ… Decrease inflammation
βœ… Interrupt pain signals to the brain
βœ… Stimulate your body’s natural healing response

Research shows that Dry Needling can help relieve pain from chronic and acute conditions, such as:

-Neck & back pain

-Headaches & migraines

-Shoulder & knee pain

-Sports injuries

-Tendon and joint pain
... and so much more!

πŸ’ͺ Pair it with Manual Physical Therapy for even greater results β€” or use it as a standalone treatment to help release muscle tension and restore movement.

🀩 No referral needed-- we offer Dry Needling as a cash-based service to best serve YOU!

πŸ“ž Call us today at (901) 313-6600 to schedule your appointment with Alexa and experience the benefits of Dry Needling for yourself!
