DRY NEEDLING

Dry needling is the insertion of a filiform needle into the muscle tissue to decrease pain, normalize inflammation, and improve mobility. It can be an incredibly powerful treatment technique for things like chronic pain, headaches, plantar fasciitis, and more. 

​

Alterra's physical therapists are experts in dry needling, along with manual therapies including soft tissue mobilization (massage), cupping, instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization, joint mobilization and more. We use these tools to help open up "windows of opportunity" to enable you to move more with less pain.
