Dry Needling
Did You Know...
Many people don’t drink enough water, and dehydration can lead to fatigue, headaches, and poor concentration. A good rule of thumb is to aim for about 8 cups (64 oz) of water a day, but individual needs can vary depending on activity level, weather, and diet. Carrying a reusable water bottle and taking sips throughout the day can help you stay on track and maintain optimal hydration!

Physical Therapy Dry Needling Treatment
While the name of the procedure may sound intimidating, dry needling is safe, minimally discomforting, and often an effective technique for patients with certain musculoskeletal presentations. Dry needling is a treatment performed by skilled, trained physical therapists, certified in the procedure. A thin monofilament needle penetrates the skin and treats underlying muscular trigger points for the management of neuromusculoskeletal pain and movement impairments.
Dry needling treats muscle tissue, and its goal is to reduce pain, inactivate trigger points and restore function. Dry needling treatment can be used for a wide variety of musculoskeletal issues, such as shoulder, neck, heel, hip, and back pain.
