DRY NEEDLING & CUPPING

Dry Needling

Dry needling is when a very fine needle (approximately ¼ thickness of a credit card) is inserted through the skin and into the deeper tissues considered dysfunctional.

​

This process creates tiny perforations in the muscle, ligament, tendon, cartilage, etc., that starts a cascade of events that eventually decrease pain, restriction and inflammation when performed by skilled, trained and experienced practitioners.

​

Creating this process puts your body in an ideal state to heal.

Cupping

Cupping, also known as Myofascial Decompression, is manual Therapy and exercise that combines negative pressure technology with evidence-based movement science principles in orthopedics and sports medicine.

​

Cupping Therapy uses special cups placed on your skin for a few minutes to create suction by a skilled, trained, and experienced practitioner. Small vacuum cups are placed on the skin to release the fascia and muscle tissue underneath and focus on the efficiency of motion with fascial mobility (connective tissue.) This technique increases oxygen-rich circulation to working tissues.

​

Creating this process helps to place your body in an ideal state to heal and restructure tissues.

​

Physical Therapists recommend cupping for many purposes, including to help reduce pain and inflammation, increase blood flow, support relaxation and well-being, and for a deep-tissue massage.
