Dry Needling Technique® for Treatment of Orthopaedic Tissue Restrictions
What is Dry Needling?
Chelsea’s story with dry needling:
Graston Technique® for Treatment of Orthopaedic Tissue Restrictions
Bodies in Balance PT offers dry needling as an adjunctive treatment to the total physical therapy treatment plan. As defined by the APTA (American Physical Therapy Association), dry needling is " a technique physical therapists use to treat myofascial pain. The technique uses a "dry" needle, one without medication or injection, inserted through the skin into areas of the muscle, known as trigger points.
Other terms commonly used to describe dry needling, include trigger point dry needling, and intramuscular manual therapy.
Dry needling is not acupuncture, a practice based on traditional Chinese medicine and performed by acupuncturists. Dry needling is a part of modern Western medicine principles, and supported by research"
Our therapists offer a unique method in addressing fascial and soft tissue restrictions that may occur in patients post-operatively, with injury or from prolonged postural changes. The Graston Technique® is an instrument-assisted manual technique for examination and treatment of many soft-tissue conditions.
