Dry NeedlingIn Idaho and Washington
Dry Needling is a technique our physical therapists use for the treatment of pain and movement impairment.
This technique uses a "dry" needle (one without medication or injection) which is inserted through the skin into areas of the muscle. This is used to release or inactivate trigger points to relieve pain and improve your range of motion.
Dry needling also improves pain control, reduces muscle tension, and normalizes dysfunctions of the motor end plates, the sites where nerve impulses are transmitted to muscles.
