Dry Needling

Dry needling is one technique a physical therapist in Olmito or Port Isabel may use during treatment. This technique uses a "dry"needle similar to an acupuncture needle without any medication. It is inserted through the skin into areas of the muscle. Physical therapists use dry needling with the goal of releasing or inactivating trigger points to relieve pain or improve range of motion in order to help speed up the patient's recovery.
