Dry needling can also be used on ligaments, joints and along superficial nerve pathways to aid in restoration of movement, improvement in circulation and relief of pain.
It is used alongside hands-on treatment and is effective treatment for muscle spasm and tightness, sports muscle soreness, stiff ankles and shoulders, headaches, etc
Besides our hands-on and exercise based approach, we use some electrotherapy modalities to assist with treatment such as therapeutic Ultrasound treatment for various soft tissue injuries. Ligament injuries such as ankle sprains and knee sprains, muscle strains and plantar fasciitis, all respond well to ultrasound.
TENS is also used for pain management, relieving pain with its stimulating effects and relieving muscle spasms. This can be extremely useful in acute and nerve pain syndromes.
