Did your doctor recommend physiotherapy for your knotted muscles, myofascial pain, or other movement impairments?
Inquire about dry needling – an innovative and scientifically backed modern Western medicine technique designed to stimulate trigger points. Like its name, it involves inserting needles into your skin without injecting fluid, hence the term ‘dry’ in dry needling.
We offer dry needling as part of our physical and occupational therapy here at Outcomes Therapy. Different from acupuncture, which works by opening up our chi, the procedure focuses on its trigger points in our muscle or tissue to treat pain and restore function.
Here are some of the benefits you can expect from this treatment:
- Improved range of motion
With tight, painful muscles, your day-to-day activities can be difficult to do. Together with other physical therapy techniques, dry needling can bring back your full range of motions and flexibility, while also retraining your muscles to function as they should. - Faster recovery
Being in pain can prevent you from focusing on your recovery, so you must address your painful and knotted muscles and tissues first. Along with other physical therapy techniques, dry needling can relieve you of this pain and hasten your healing.
Interested in trying out this type of therapy? Don’t hesitate to get in touch with us. A dedicated physical therapist will work with you one-on-one.
We also offer speech therapy services for your convenience. Call us today.
