Dry Needling Therapy

Our PTs have extensive experience in trigger point dry needling therapy for shoulder and elbow pain, particularly for baseball players and athletes in throwing sports.

What is Dry Needling Therapy?

Dry Needling therapy is a technique that releases taut bands of tension in muscles. It helps muscles recover from injury and reduces pain. Often, it will eliminate symptoms in tight muscles altogether. This treatment is most effective when combined with a comprehensive PT program that identifies and targets the root of the problem. Dry needling therapy can also help baseball players and throwing athletes recover faster from shoulder and elbow injuries.

How it Works

This popular treatment involves inserting a tiny monofilament needle into a muscle or muscles to release shortened bands of tension and decrease trigger point activity. This incredibly effective and popular treatment can help resolve pain and muscle tension in baseball players and throwing athletes. It can also promote healing and speed up recovery from shoulder and elbow injuries.

Effectiveness

Think of the needle as an extension of the therapist’s hands into muscles that can’t be reached. For baseball players and throwing athletes, this can be an incredibly effective technique to facilitate healing from throwing-related injuries.
