Dry Needling
At Capstone Physical Therapy, we offer Dry Needling as a proven method to reduce pain, improve movement, and promote healing in musculoskeletal conditions. Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, sports injuries, or muscle tightness, Dry Needling can help you achieve relief and improve your quality of life.
Dry Needling is a specialized technique where fine needles are inserted into trigger points or muscle knots to release tension, decrease pain, and promote muscle healing. This treatment is highly effective for addressing a variety of conditions that affect muscles and soft tissues.
Common Conditions Treated with Dry Needling:
- Chronic muscle pain
- Tension headaches
- Neck and back pain
- Sports injuries
- Muscle stiffness or tightness
- Myofascial pain syndrome
- Post-surgical rehabilitation
- Postural imbalances
Dry Needling targets the underlying causes of pain by addressing muscle trigger points, which are tight bands of muscle tissue that cause discomfort and restrict movement. These trigger points can develop due to overuse, poor posture, stress, or injury, and Dry Needling helps to alleviate the pain and restore muscle function.
How Dry Needling Works:
Dry Needling involves the insertion of thin, solid needles into specific muscle trigger points. The needle stimulates the muscle to release tightness and improve blood flow, promoting faster healing. This process can also help to reduce inflammation, improve muscle flexibility, and restore normal movement patterns.
At Capstone Physical Therapy, our physical therapists are trained and experienced in Dry Needling techniques, ensuring that the treatment is safe, effective, and tailored to your needs. We will work with you to develop a personalized plan to address your unique pain points and functional goals.
