Dry-Needling
Dry-needling is applied to muscles and tissues to reduce tension, increase blood-flow, and reduce local and referred pain. Dry-needling can also help some types of headaches & migraines.
It is a skilled technique performed by a physical therapist using a single-use, sterile, acupuncture needle to penetrate the skin and effect change on the muscles and tissues beneath.
We do not currently offer dry-needling to those are pregnant.
Kinesiology Taping
Kinesiology tape is a very sticky and stretchy thin tape that can be worn on the body for days. It was developed to support athletic performance.
It is commonly used to support movement, relive pain, and reduce swelling.
