Dry Needling: Targeted Relief for Muscle Tension & Trigger Points

Dry Needling is a highly effective technique used to release tight muscles, deactivate trigger points, and reduce pain. Using a thin, sterile filament needle, your therapist gently targets specific areas of tension to stimulate deep tissue repair.

Benefits of Dry Needling

  • Reduces muscle tightness and spasm

  • Relieves trigger point pain

  • Improves mobility and range of motion

  • Enhances blood flow for faster healing

  • Helps with chronic conditions like neck pain, low back pain, or shoulder tension

  • Supports recovery from sports injuries

Dry Needling is especially helpful for people who feel “knots,” deep stiffness, or limited mobility that doesn’t respond to stretching or massage alone.

Shockwave Therapy: Accelerated Healing for Chronic Pain & Injuries

Shockwave Therapy uses controlled acoustic waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. This non-invasive treatment increases circulation, breaks up scar tissue, and promotes tissue regeneration — making it ideal for lingering or hard-to-treat issues.

Benefits of Shockwave Therapy

  • Reduces inflammation and chronic pain

  • Speeds up healing in muscles, tendons, and ligaments

  • Breaks down adhesions and scar tissue

  • Improves circulation and nutrient delivery to damaged tissues

  • Supports recovery from conditions like:

    • Plantar fasciitis

    • Tennis elbow or golfer’s elbow

    • Rotator cuff injuries

    • Achilles tendon issues

    • Hip or knee pain

    • IT band syndrome

Shockwave Therapy is safe, fast, and effective — with no downtime required.
