SERV I CE SPOTL I GHT Dry Needling is a technique using thin filiform needles to penetrate the skin and/or underlying tissues to affect and stimulate pain relief and impairments (Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy, May 2015). Physiologically, Dry Needling helps improve blood flow, decrease muscle banding, creates biochemical changes, and improves central nervous system conductivity. Dry Needling is ideal for back, neck, shoulder, elbow, hip, knee and ankle pain and dysfunction, reducing pain, improving range of motion, and restoring function.
