Did you know we offer Dry Needling? You can now add it to your regular PT appointment with Dustin or book a stand alone Dry Needling session with him.

How does Dry Needling work?

*Stimulates the muscle: A thin, sterile needle is inserted into a "trigger point," which is an active or latent knot of muscle tissue.
*Triggers a micro-spasm: The needle insertion creates a micro-lesion, which causes the muscle to twitch or spasm locally. This is a sign that the trigger point is releasing.
*Increases blood flow: The twitch response signals the body to send healing cells and increases blood flow to the area, delivering oxygen and nutrients to speed up healing.
*Reduces pain and tension: The process helps to relax tight muscles, improve function, and reduce pain by releasing tense and knotted tissue.
*Restores muscle tone: By resetting the muscle's tone, it can help prevent future injuries when combined with other physical therapy to correct underlying strength and mobility issues.
