Services
Dry Needling
Dry needling targets musculoskeletal pain through precise needle insertion into trigger points. This technique resets abnormal neuromuscular signals, reducing chronic pain and improving mobility. Patients typically see results within 1-6 sessions when combined with exercise therapy.
Manual Therapy
Manual therapy uses skilled hand techniques to mobilize joints and soft tissues. This approach restores normal movement patterns, reduces pain, and addresses structural imbalances contributing to chronic conditions like SIJ dysfunction and frozen shoulder.
Posture Training
Posture training addresses chronic pain from poor alignment through personalized corrective exercises. We analyze movement patterns and provide targeted interventions to improve spinal alignment and prevent recurring musculoskeletal issues during daily activities.
Cupping
Cupping therapy creates localized suction to release tight fascia and improve circulation. This technique effectively treats myofascial pain by breaking up adhesions and promoting tissue healing in areas like the neck, back, and shoulders.
Joint Mobilization
Joint mobilization techniques restore proper joint mechanics through controlled movements. This treatment addresses restricted motion in areas like the spine, shoulders, and hips, reducing pain caused by stiffness or misalignment.

Questions
What conditions respond best to dry needling?
Dry needling effectively treats chronic pain conditions like neck pain, low back pain, plantar fasciitis, and myofascial pain syndromes by targeting trigger points that contribute to these conditions.
Is dry needling covered by insurance?
As an out-of-network provider, we don't bill insurance directly. Patients receive receipts for potential reimbursement, though coverage varies by individual insurance plans.
What should I expect during my first session?
Initial evaluations include comprehensive movement analysis, medical history review, and personalized treatment planning. The first session typically combines dry needling with manual therapy and exercise instruction.
How many sessions will I need?
Most patients see significant improvement in 3-6 sessions, though individual results vary based on condition severity and adherence to home exercise programs.
Are there any contraindications for dry needling?
Patients taking anticoagulants or with bleeding disorders require special precautions. The therapist will conduct thorough screening to identify any contraindications before treatment.
Can I continue other treatments while receiving PT here?
Yes, our treatment complements other therapies. We recommend discussing any concurrent treatments with your physical therapist to optimize recovery outcomes.
