Unparalleled treatment in eliminating 
neuromuscular dysfunction

Dry needling is a type of manual therapy, which requires the use of the filament needle. Professional education and certification is mandatory for this type of procedure and is demonstrated through education, practical testing, and exhibiting high-levels of competency.

History

Modern Dry Needling is based on neuroanatomy, Western medicine, and scientific method, which treats along the musculoskeletal and nervous system.

Dry needling is derived from the Eastern practices of acupuncture, but is almost a completely different practice. Acupuncture is based on Chinese medicine and treats along the meridian system, which is more holistic. Dry Needling continues to develop alongside the most current physical therapy treatments and evidence-based practices of the doctoring profession of physical therapy.

Dry Needling emphasizes connecting with trigger points to cause the muscle to contract then release.

Functional Needling (FDN) is similar to Chinese acupuncture in how it uses filament needles. However, it is founded on Western medicine, which makes it distinctively different.

It stimulates neural pathways by disrupting the pain messages connected to your brain. Filament needles are inserted into the area of the body which produces pain and helps to alleviate the following conditions:

  • Low Back Pain
  • Chronic Pain Conditions
  • Headaches
  • Post-traumatic Injuries
  • Post-surgical Pain
  • Athletic Injuries
  • Overuse of Muscles
  • Acute & Chronic Tendonitis
  • Myofascial Injury
  • Neck Pain
  • Radicular Symptoms
  • Plantar Fasciitis
  • Hip & Knee Pain
  • Athletic Recovery
  • Temporomandibular Joint Disorder
  • Hand & Wrist Pain
