🚨Are you suffering from Pain, Tight muscles, Headaches, Flexbility issues, or Chronic Soreness that just won't seem to go away? The solution may be Trigger Point Dry Needling (TDN)!🚨

🌟 Did you know that trigger point dry needling (TDN) can be a game-changer for managing, reducing and relieving pain? Just like physical therapy, TDN is a specialized technique that targets tight muscle bands to relieve tension and enhance movement! 🌀

This method can help alleviate discomfort from conditions like tension headaches, pain, soreness, flexibility and even sports injuries to name a few. By releasing knots in the muscle, you'll experience improved circulation, muscle flexibility, and a greater range of motion. It's a natural approach to feeling your best!

Curious about how TDN can benefit you? Reach out to us today by calling 412.856.8060 or visit essmc.com! Let's embark on a path to wellness together. 💪

Low back pain is one of the most frequent reasons people visit the doctor — it’s estimated that 31 million Americans experience lower back pain at any given time. It may be tempting to ask for imaging via X-ray or MRI. However, a thorough physical examination can often determine the best treatment course and whether you require imaging to rule out a serious problem!

Non-imaging assessments, like the ones provided by physical therapists, play a crucial role in diagnosing back pain. Meet your physical therapist and discuss your symptoms and functional difficulties. Our team can assess posture, flexibility, strength, and reflexes.

What to expect from Physical Therapy?

1. Create an individualized plan of care (POC) to effectively treat your source of pain.

2. Educate on proper posture and core mechanics.

3. Transition to a home exercise program to effectively maintain progress and prevent recurrence.

If you are experiencing back pain and are ready to find a solution, schedule an evaluation, and get the help you need today! Call 412.856.8060 or visit us at essmc.com to schedule at any of our 9 convenient locations!
