Dry Needling
Used to decrease tightness and pain in muscles. A monofilament needle is inserted into the muscle to create a twitch response- releasing chemicals that restore the muscle to its normal resting tone, and decrease pain. Muscles can then be re-educated to function properly and pain-free.
Massage Therapy
Used in conjunction with dry needling to alleviate myofascial restriction to further restore proper motor patterns and coordination.
