Dry Needling
Dry needling administered by a physical therapist is not the same as acupuncture, however, it is a technique that utilizes similar thin, solid filament needles. These needles are placed into muscular and connective tissues and often stimulated with an electrical current in order to manage pain and neuromuscular dysfunction. We consider dry needling to be a valuable tool in the rehabilitation process, but it is often only a portion of the solution.
