Functional Dry Needling

Physical therapists use acupuncture style needles to release trigger points in areas of pain to allow for better mobility, function, and promote return to activity. It is a more direct approach to releasing muscle knots by resetting motor points for longer lasting relief.

Cupping

This method can be used to activate or inhibit a muscle’s function, reduce swelling, lift scar tissue, reduce trigger points and manage pain dependent on therapist’s technique and placement.
