Trigger Point Therapy

We use trigger point therapy via dry needling which is based on the theory that when a trigger points develop in muscles they lead to neuromuscular dysfunction. Resulting in muscular pain and decreased function in muscles and joints.

 

Acupuncture style needles are used to elicit a response and release the trigger point therefore restoring normal function to the muscle.
