Dry Needling Therapy

Dry needling is a therapeutic technique used by chiropractors and other healthcare professionals to treat muscle pain and tension, along with movement issues. It involves inserting thin, filiform needles (like those used in acupuncture) into myofascial trigger points, which are tight bands or knots in the muscle tissue that can cause pain and restrict movement.

Purpose:

Reduce muscle pain and tension.
Improve range of motion.
Help restore function in affected areas.

How It Works:

The needle is inserted into a trigger point
This causes a local twitch response, which can help release the muscle knot.
It may stimulate blood flow and the nervous system, promoting healing and reducing pain signals.

Conditions It May Help:

Chronic neck or back pain
Shoulder pain
Tennis Elbow (Tendinitis)
Hip and Gluteal pain
Tension headaches
TMJ Dysfunction or pain
Sinus Pressure

Postpartum

The postpartum period is a time of adjustment as the body transitions from pregnancy to postpartum recovery. Chiropractic care during this phase can aid in restoring pelvic alignment, addressing any residual discomfort from childbirth, and supporting the body as it adapts to new postural demands, especially during breastfeeding and caring for a newborn. Care during this time will help new mothers regain strength and mobility, promoting overall well-being during this transformative time.
