Functional Dry Needling Services

Stimulate Blood Flow to Help Relieve Pain

Whether you're newly experiencing shoulder and neck pain you'd like to relieve, or you want to find relief from your chronic plantar fascia pain, Ace Physical Therapy has the solution for you. We specialize in providing expert functional dry needling services that will help to trigger your body's natural healing response by stimulating blood flow and reducing muscle tightness. 

Used to treat pain and movement impairments, dry needling stimulates the body’s natural healing processes by targeting trigger points in muscle bellies to reduce muscle spasms, improve mobility, and reduce pain. The technique is also used to target fascial restrictions or other connective tissues that massages and other hands-on treatments cannot manipulate.

While dry needling is often confused with acupuncture due to the use of similar needles, the two are quite different. Acupuncture is an Eastern medicine technique based on meridians and energy flow, while dry needling is based on anatomy and neurophysiological principles.

At Ace Physical Therapy, we perform all dry needling services in our clinic. Dry needling is typically only part of your treatment plan, and we will provide you with other options to do in conjunction with the needling. This often includes exercise, activity modification, and other manual techniques. Although dry needling can be used in virtually any area of the body, we commonly use it for specific areas, including the shoulders, neck muscles, glutes, IT band, quads, and plantar fascia.

When you need reliable pain relief, Ace Physical Therapy is here to help you find the solution.

We accept most insurance and will handle all the necessary paperwork, so you don't have to.
