Dry Needling Glendale AZ
Dry needling is an intervention where the trained Sports Physical Therapist introduces a fine filiform needle into the tissue that is causing the pain or tightness. This creates a healing response in the tissue.
The needles are placed into the tissue and can be left alone for a period of 8-20 minutes or for a larger response can be manipulated or hooked up to electric stimulation.
There are many reasons we may consider complimenting your treatment plan with dry needling:
• Simple muscle tightness, strains sprains and overworked body needing recovery.
• We can also activate a muscle that is down regulated via dry needling.
When needles are placed close to the site of pain, we tap into all 3 levels of pain control (local, segmental, and systemic)
