Dry Needling HD

Dry Needling is an effective treatment technique for soft-tissue dysfunction and pain-related conditions. Dry Needling utilizes sterile, solid filament needles to improve local tissue nutrition near the site of muscle or nerve injury. It can also be used to deactivate and desensitize trigger points in muscles. Myofascial trigger points are knots in muscles that can contribute to pain, decreased flexibility and decreased muscle function. Dry Needling allows the physical therapist to efficiently treat dysfunctions throughout a chain of muscles causing a painful condition. Dry Needling is a vital component of stimulating healing and muscle repair in conjunction with other manual therapy techniques and exercise. Northern Edge Physical Therapy is the leading therapy center offering dry needling in Wasilla, Alaska.
