Dry Needling Solutions for Deep Muscle Pain

If you're suffering from deep muscle pain and traditional physical therapy has failed to give you relief, consider dry needling treatments from Evolution Sports Physiotherapy. 

This treatment method allows our physical therapists to reach deep into the muscle belly to relieve tight, painful muscle fibers. Using thin acupuncture needles to create painless microtrauma in the affected tissues, we can jump-start your body's healing powers and release hard-to-reach trigger points.

Dry needling is a skilled intervention performed by a Physical Therapist that uses a thin filiform needle to penetrate the skin and stimulate underlying neural, muscular and connective tissues for the evaluation and management of neuromusculoskeletal conditions, pain and movement impairments. 

Dry needling is a technique employed by physical therapists and is similar in that a needle is inserted into the skin to alleviate pain. However, the primary difference between acupuncture and dry needling is that acupuncture treats for the purpose of altering the flow of Qi (or energy) along traditional Chinese meridians while dry needling follows evidence-based guidelines, recommended “point” locations, and dosages for the treatment of specific conditions. These conditions include but, are not limited to: whiplash associated disorders, cervicogenic headaches, tension type headaches, migraine headaches, rib syndromes, facet joint syndromes, cervical radiculopathy, mechanical neck pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shoulder impingement syndrome, temporomandibular dysfunction, and chronic tendinopathies like: achilles tendinitis, patellar tendinitis, quad tendinitis, long-head of biceps tendinitis, and medial & lateral epicondylitis.
