So, I will admit! I really DON’T like needles! It took me over 7 years for my team to convince me to let them dry needle me! For years, I’ve had tons of neck and shoulder pain that has come and gone. For me, it flares up when I have trouble sleeping as well as when I really push myself hard in the gym for several days.
So, I finally signed myself for what else, other than PT! Did you PT actually works?! So, Christen evaluated me and made me my personal plan. She worked on improving the mobility in my neck as well and improving the oh so tight muscles I keep in my neck and back regions. One of the things she did was dry needle my traps and my shoulder blade region. I’m not going to lie, I was sweating like crazy! Initially it didn’t feel so hot, but after the end of my 20 minute session on the needles, I was feeling a little better. She told me I may be sore for a couple days, which I was. After about 48-72 hours, I felt SO much better. You see, dry needling along with PT can really help relieve some chronic issues that you have been having. It’s also really good for acute issues that have just happened to help with the healing process!
Long story short, let us help you! Don’t be like me and think you are going to fix it yourself! It probably won’t happen! Call today if you would like to set up an appointment! Christen and Devon are our dry needling specialists! But of course, if you are opposed to needles, any of our other excellent therapists are here to help!
