Dry Needling has become a very popular type of treatment used to treat myofascial pain. Muscles sometimes develop “trigger points” which are discrete, focal, hyperirritable spots located in a taut band of skeletal muscle. The spots are painful on compression and can produce referred pain, referred tenderness, motor dysfunction, and autonomic phenomena.

Dry Needling can help address:

• Joint problems

• Disc problems

• Tendinitis

• Migraine and tension-type headaches

• Jaw and mouth problems (such as temporomandibular joint disorders aka TMD)

• Repetitive motion disorders (like carpal tunnel syndrome)

• Spinal problems

• Pelvic pain

• Night cramps

Physical Therapists must have specific training in dry needling and most of our therapists have had years of experience.
