Dry needling is a manual trigger point release technique used to address painful, taut bands of muscle that can restrict movement, decrease strength, and contribute to pain. Skilled used of the needle can release the tissue and be hugely helpful in the therapeutic process. Dry needling services can be performed as a part of your therapy plan of care at a discounted rate, or can be performed “fee for service” if you are not an active therapy client. A referral for dry needling is needed in both scenarios.
