Each session is customized to meet your specific needs, focusing on pinpointing and treating the muscle trigger points that are contributing to your discomfort. We use fine needles to target these points, effectively releasing muscle tension and knots. This precise, minimally invasive approach not only alleviates pain but also enhances overall muscle performance and recovery.

Dry Needling or IMS
Dry needling is a technique that physical therapists providers use to treat muscle pain and spasms. It involves inserting thin needles into trigger points, which are dysfunctional areas of muscle tissue. DN can help relax the muscles, increase blood flow, and reduce pain. DN is supported by research evidence.
