What we offer:
Dry needling is a therapeutic technique used to treat musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. It involves the insertion of thin, mirco-filament needles into specific "trigger points" or tight bands of muscle, fascia, or connective tissue. These trigger points are often the source of pain, stiffness, and restricted movement in conditions such as back pain, neck pain, tendonitis, or joint issues.

Dry needling can decrease pain and improve function through several mechanisms:
- MUSCLE RELAXATION: The needle targets trigger points, releasing tension and reducing pain and stiffness.
- INCREASED BLOOD FLOW: The needle enhances circulation, promoting healing by delivering oxygen and flushing out waste.
- NEUROPHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECTS: The needle triggers a twitch response that resets dysfunctional muscle firing, easing tension and improving function.
- TRIGGER POINT DEACTIVATION: Dry needling deactivates hyper-irritable muscle spots, reducing pain and improving movement.
- PAIN GATE MECHANISM: It stimulates the nervous system to release natural pain-relievers like endorphins, lowering pain perception.
- BREAKING THE PAIN-SPASM CYCLE: By releasing tight muscles and trigger points, dry needling breaks the cycle of pain and muscle spasms, restoring normal function.

Cupping
cupping
Cupping therapy in orthopedic treatment involves using specially designed cups to create suction on the skin, typically over areas of muscle or joint pain. The suction draws the skin and underlying tissue into the cup, which can help with a variety of musculoskeletal issues.

Cupping therapy can decrease pain and improve function through several key mechanisms:
- INCREASED BLOOD FLOW: The suction boosts circulation, delivering oxygen and nutrients while removing waste, promoting healing and reducing inflammation.
- MUSCLE RELAXATION: Cupping loosens tight muscles and fascia, easing tension and reducing pain and stiffness.
- IMPROVED LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE: It enhances the removal of toxins and reduces swelling, which helps reduce pain and improves mobility.
- MYOFASCIAL RELEASE: Cupping breaks up muscle adhesions, improving flexibility and restoring function.
- PAIN RELIEF: By stimulating sensory nerves, cupping can block pain signals and release endorphins, providing natural pain relief.
- INCREASED RANGE OF MOTION: The suction creates gentle tissue stretching, reducing stiffness and improving mobility.

Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM)
MANUAL THERAPY
IASTM is a physical therapy technique that uses specialized tools to help diagnose and treat soft tissue injuries or dysfunctions. The therapist uses these tools to apply controlled pressure to areas of the body where scar tissue, adhesions, or muscle tightness may be present, aiming to break down fibrous tissue, improve circulation, and promote healing.

- BREAKS DOWN SCAR TISSUE & ADHESIONS: IASTM helps to break up and remodel scar tissue, adhesions, and fascial restrictions, which may have formed after an injury, surgery, or chronic muscle tension.
- IMPROVES CIRCULATION: The scraping motion increases blood flow to the affected area, delivering more oxygen and nutrients to the tissues and helping remove waste products like lactic acid.
- PROMOTES HEALING: By stimulating the tissue, IASTM encourages the body's natural healing processes, speeding up recovery.
- REDUCES PAIN: IASTM can help alleviate pain by reducing muscle tightness, breaking up adhesions, and improving overall tissue flexibility.
- IMPROVES RANGE OF MOTION: As tight muscles and fascial restrictions are released, flexibility and joint mobility are restored, which can improve overall function and movement.
- ENHANCES TISSUE QUALITY: IASTM stimulates the remodeling of tissue, helping improve its overall quality and alignment.

- PAIN RELIEF: By addressing muscle tightness and joint restrictions, manual therapy helps reduce pain and improve function.
- IMPROVED RANGE OF MOTION: Techniques like joint mobilization and soft tissue release help increase flexibility and movement in stiff joints or muscles.
- ENHANCED HEALING: By improving circulation, manual therapy promotes healing in soft tissues and joints.
- RESTORING FUNCTION: Manual therapy helps correct postural and movement imbalances, allowing for better mobility and less discomfort during daily activities.
