Ultrasound
Ultrasound therapy utilizes sound waves to create therapeutic effects of increased blood circulation, resolution of inflammation and tissue healing. It is especially effective in target areas such as tendons and ligaments and not necessarily ideal for muscles or larger areas of the body.
Dry Needling
Dry Needling involves inserting a tiny monofilament needle in a muscle or muscles in order to release shortened bands of muscles and decrease trigger point activity. This can help resolve pain and muscle tension, and will promote healing. This is not traditional Chinese Acupuncture, but is instead a medical treatment that relies on a medical diagnosis to be effective. Your physical therapist has met requirements of competency in Dry Needling. All training was in accordance with requirements dictated by this facility and by the U.S. state of this practitioner’s licensure. Dry needling is a valuable and effective treatment for musculoskeletal pain.
