Dry Needling Therapy at Sol Physical Therapy: Targeted Pain Relief and Muscle Relaxation

Specialized Care for Musculoskeletal Pain and Dysfunction

Sol Physical Therapy offers dry needling therapy to help individuals suffering from musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. Our skilled therapists provide precise and effective treatment to alleviate pain, release muscle tension, and improve mobility for those experiencing a variety of musculoskeletal conditions.

What is Dry Needling Therapy?

Dry needling therapy involves the insertion of thin needles into trigger points within muscles, tendons, ligaments, or fascia to release tension and alleviate pain. Unlike acupuncture, which is based on traditional Chinese medicine principles, dry needling targets specific anatomical structures to address musculoskeletal issues and promote healing.

Conditions We Treat

  • Muscle Tension and Trigger Points: Targeting tight, knotted muscles and trigger points that cause pain and restrict movement.
  • Myofascial Pain Syndrome: Addressing chronic pain and tightness in the muscles and surrounding connective tissue.
  • Neck and Back Pain: Alleviating pain and stiffness in the neck, upper back, lower back, and shoulders.
  • Headaches and Migraines: Providing relief from tension headaches and migraines caused by muscle tension and trigger points.
  • Joint Pain and Dysfunction: Supporting recovery from conditions like arthritis, tendonitis, and bursitis by reducing pain and improving range of motion.
  • Sports Injuries: Accelerating healing and relieving pain associated with sports-related injuries such as strains, sprains, and overuse injuries.

Our Approach

  1. Comprehensive Assessment: We conduct a thorough evaluation to identify areas of muscle tension, trigger points, and musculoskeletal dysfunction.
  2. Precise Needle Placement: Using sterile, disposable needles, we target specific trigger points and areas of muscle tightness to achieve optimal results.
  3. Pain Relief and Muscle Relaxation: Dry needling promotes the release of natural pain-relieving chemicals in the body and encourages muscle relaxation, providing immediate relief and improved function.
  4. Patient Education: We educate patients about the dry needling process, potential benefits, and what to expect during and after treatment.
  5. Integration with Other Therapies: Dry needling may be combined with other physical therapy techniques, such as manual therapy, exercise, and modalities, to enhance overall treatment effectiveness.
