Pre/Post Rx Enhanced* Travell Method Needling
What is Dry Needling?
Needling is a technique utilizing acupuncture needles to release your body of trigger points.
Trigger points are areas of taut bands of hypersensitive, irritable tissue. These trigger points radiate pain in your body. Trigger points cause local areas of circulatory stasis. This leads to a dramatic drop in circulating blood within the irritated tissues. And the body is in pain because circulation in the tissues has come to a halt- trapping inflammatory chemicals. As this continues, inflammation continues to accumulates rapidly within the muscle. Without any new oxygen from newly circulating blood the overworked area of the muscle is essentially suffocating.
Dry needling will induce a dramatic release of tension within the muscle. It treats and removes these chemical mediators which cause pain, and it allows for circulation in the area to return to normal and for muscular relaxation to return.

All Dry Needling is Not Created Equal
We utilize one-of-a kind innovative pre/post treatment Enhanced Travell method Needling. And I promise you, that you have not experienced this treatment before.
Janet Travell was a physician that pioneered dry needling back in the 1940's. Kennedy appointed her as his personal physician when she became the only one who could ease his disabling back pain. Many dry needling schools & techniques have quickly sprouted up in the past few years due to the recent rise in its popularity and demand. However, her techniques are the foundation and proven needling techniques that have been proven over the last half century.
In most therapy offices, therapists are using electrical dry needling. This is much less effective than Travell Method Dry Needling.
To understand why, imagine using a very specifically targeted, laser-focused approach vs a broad, diluted, diffuse approach. When using an electric-based dry needling approach it has the advantage of allowing the therapist to leave the patient and multi-task, seeing other patients or writing notes. It also requires less skill, because you can hit the entire muscle at once without targeting the exact location within the muscle. But unfortunately, it just isn't as effective as Travell Method which repeatedly targets the exact precise location of the individual's muscular issue. (See the video below)
