How to Know if Dry Needling Is Right for You
If you’ve been living with muscle pain, tightness, or recurring injuries that don’t fully resolve with massage or stretching, dry needling may be the next step. It’s effective for issues like tension headaches, shoulder and neck stiffness, lower back pain, sciatica, or even overuse injuries from sports or work. Patients throughout Philadelphia, PA, choose dry needling therapy for its ability to release deep muscle knots and restore pain-free movement. During your initial consultation, we’ll determine whether this kind of treatment fits your goals and develop a plan that aligns with your body’s needs and recovery timeline. Moreover, you can also explore our other specialty services to further support your recovery and overall movement goals.
