Dry Needling

What is it?

Injection of thin monofilament needles, as with acupuncture, with no injectate into ligaments, muscles, tendons, subcutaneous fascia, scar tissue, as well as, vicinity of peripheral nerves/neurovascular bundles.

Why do it?

Most evidence for dry needling revolves around myofascial trigger points but it's also know to relieve:

• Chronic pain

• Chronic shoulder pain and ROM deficits 

• Nerve/radicular pain 

• Muscle stiffness with LTrps (latent trigger points, NOT ACTIVE) 

• Tendinopathies 

• Central Sensitization (also associated with chronic pain and frozen shoulder) 

Evaluation First

Evaluation is required prior to booking Dry Needling appointments to screen for your safety.
