Targeted Relief Through Dry Needling
At Renew Physical Therapy, our expert therapists utilize dry needling as a powerful tool for managing pain, addressing movement impairments, and improving tissue healing.
How it works
This advanced technique involves inserting fine monofilament needles, similar to those used in acupuncture, directly into dysfunctional tissue. The presence of a needle in the tissue when left long enough not only triggers your body’s system to send repair cells but also increases blood flow to this tissue triggering a healing response. By targeting these areas, dry needling aims to alleviate pain, enhance muscle function, and improve overall movement.
Personalized treatment
Each dry needling session at Renew Physical Therapy is tailored to meet your individual needs. Our therapists begin with a thorough diagnostic evaluation to assess your specific condition and determine the most effective treatment approach. This personalized approach ensures that we address your unique issues and achieve the best possible outcomes.
What sets our dry needling apart:
- Monofilament Needles: We use precise, fine monofilament needles, smaller than those used in the common blood draw. These needles are designed to penetrate the desired tissue without causing significant discomfort, allowing for targeted relief of symptoms.
- Combination with Electrical Stimulation: In some cases, we enhance the effects of dry needling by combining it with electrical stimulation. This technique involves attaching electrodes to the needles, which provides current, circulation, and supply of healing factors. The combination of needling and electrical stimulation can amplify the treatment’s effectiveness, promoting faster relief and less overall treatment time.
- Evidence-Based Protocols: Our approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, ensuring that we use protocols supported by research for managing a variety of conditions. We focus on both the primary areas of pain and the surrounding tissues, following protocols that are designed to address specific musculoskeletal issues and promote optimal healing.
- Advanced Imaging with Butterfly Handheld Ultrasound: Our clinic utilizes a Butterfly handheld ultrasound, allowing us to visualize tissue during needle insertion for the most efficient and effective placement. This typically results in fewer needles placed and fewer needling sessions overall, optimizing patient comfort and treatment outcomes.
Integrating dry needling into your care
Dry needling is often integrated with other manual therapy techniques to provide comprehensive care. Our therapists combine their expertise with advanced techniques to help you return to optimal function and improve your quality of life.
