PAIN MANAGEMENT

DRY NEEDLING
- Dry needling is a treatment where a thin needle is used to penetrate and stimulate "trigger points," or knots, in muscles to relieve pain and improve movement. This is a Western medicine-based therapy, distinct from acupuncture, that helps to reduce muscle tension, increase blood flow, and promote the body's natural healing response. It is used for a wide range of musculoskeletal issues, including back pain, neck pain, headaches, and injuries.
SHOCKWAVE THERAPY

It works by stimulating the body's natural healing processes, increasing blood flow, and reducing pain by activating nerves at the injury site. The procedure is administered using a handheld device, and it can help with chronic musculoskeletal pain from conditions like plantar fasciitis or tendon issues.
