Patient Success Story Hear Why Patients Love Us! "I have had the pleasure of dealing with Blue Sky for one thing or another for more than 12 years. First for Pilates, which I have continued to this date. Then for a badly strained back and later sciatica. In all instances I have been treated professionally with great skill and care. The therapists at Blue Sky have not just dealt with the injury, but have been concerned with my whole wellness. Also, Pilates is wonderful because teachers are all PT professionals as well and so they understand my body. You can have complete confidence in this outfit.

The technique uses a “dry” needle, one without medication or injection, inserted through the skin into areas of the muscle, known as trigger points. Some dry needling techniques treat a broader landscape of the central nervous system. This is called non-trigger point treatment. Instead of inserting needles only in the area of pain, the practitioner may instead insert needles in areas around but not directly on the point of pain. This technique relies on the idea that pain is the result of a greater nerve or muscular issue, not a focused one only in the main area of pain. Physical therapists use dry needling with the goal of releasing or inactivating trigger points to relieve pain or improve range of motion. Preliminary research supports that dry needling improves pain control, reduces muscle tension, and normalizes dysfunctions of the motor end plates, the sites at which nerve impulses are transmitted to muscles. This can help speed up the patient’s return to active rehabilitation. Dry needling may provide relief for some muscular pain and stiffness. In addition, easing the trigger points may improve flexibility and increase range of motion. To learn if dry needling could help you, call us today at 303.388.1537!
