Functional Dry Needling
Functional Dry Needling is a technique that we use in our clinic to help with relieving your pain and improving your function. It is a technique that uses monofilament needles to release trigger points within your muscle. A trigger point is a part of your muscle that has become contracted like a knot. The trigger point can cause compression of the muscles, nerves and joints leading to pain and restriction of your tissue. Releasing these trigger points with dry needling, helps to reset your muscles, improve mobility and decrease your pain. It is used in conjunction with other treatment techniques and exercises. We have found it beneficial for our patient's and can speed up their rehab process. In order to be able to perform function dry needling, specialized classes and certification is required. We have certified physical therapists at our clinic to help you. Call our clinic to get more information.

Have you ever heard the phrase “exercise is the best medicine?” Regular exercise helps people remain limber, boosts physical health, enhances mental performance and resilience, and improves longevity. It also reduces the risk of certain age-related issues.
When you are not able to access a fitness center, it’s great to know that you can still exercise as much as you wish at home.

Selecting the right equipment, stretching before skiing, and proper body positioning can help prevent unnecessary injuries such as muscle strain and overuse, knee sprains, or a dislocated shoulder.

Achilles tendonitis is a common issue, especially for individuals who run regularly. This injury develops when tendons in the lower leg region near the ankle become inflamed.
A damaged Achilles tendon has a higher risk of rupturing, even with activities of daily living, which means it needs to be addressed in a timely manner.
