THE BENEFITS OF DRY NEEDLING
Congratulations to our three therapists, Bridget, Kevin and Jeffrey, who are now Level 3 Certified in Dry Needling! Their faces show how excited they are to further help our patients. But - what is Dry Needling? If you’re experiencing pain or tightness in muscles that can make it hard to move, Dry Needling might be just the thing for you. Dry Needling involves inserting a tiny monofilament needle in a muscle to release shortened bands of muscles and decrease trigger point activity. It might sound a little scary, but it is very simple and super effective! Dry Needling can help resolve pain and muscle tension and promotes healing. Unlike acupuncture, Dry Needling requires a medical diagnosis to be effective. Physical therapists use Dry Needling with the goal of releasing or inactivating trigger points to relieve pain or improve range of motion. Have knots in your shoulders and neck? Dry Needling can help! Dry Needling provides relief for muscular pain and stiffness. In addition, easing the trigger points may improve flexibility and increase range of motion. That’s why this method is often used to treat sports injuries, muscle pain, and even fibromyalgia pain. Dry Needling is normally just one part of treatment in order to ensure all of your pain and tension is taken care of in the most effective way.
If you’re suffering from any of the following, talk to your doctor about a referral for Dry Needling, or give us a call:
• Spinal problems • Pelvic pain
• Joint problems • Disk problems • Tendinitis • Migraine and tension-type headaches • Jaw and mouth problems (such as TMJ) • Whiplash • Repetitive motion disorders (like carpal tunnel syndrome)
• Night cramps • Phantom pain • Post-herpetic neuralgia (pain left behind by shingles)
HEALTHY RECIPE 4TH OF JULY FRUIT SPARKLERS
INGREDIENTS • 1 whole watermelon • 16 ounces fresh blueberries • Bamboo skewers
DIRECTIONS Cut watermelon vertically into 1 inch thick slices. Use a small star cookie cutter to cut out star shapes from the flesh of each watermelon round. Thread 7-10 blueberries into the center of each bamboo skewer, leaving enough space at the end for someone to be able to comfortably hold it, and a space at the top for the watermelon star. Place the watermelon star on top and set the fruit sparklers on a serving tray. Cover and refrigerate until ready to enjoy.
