Unlock a New Level of Pain Relief with Dry Needling!
If you’re struggling with chronic muscle pain, tension, or restricted mobility, we have exciting news for you! Total Care Physical Therapy now offers Dry Needling Therapy, a highly effective, evidence-based treatment that targets muscle knots and trigger points to relieve pain, improve movement, and speed up recovery.
Unlike traditional acupuncture, Dry Needling is a science-backed technique rooted in Western medicine and neurophysiology. It focuses on reducing muscular tightness, restoring function, and alleviating discomfort from injuries, overuse, and chronic conditions.
- Faster relief
- Improved mobility
- Long-lasting results.
Why Choose Dry Needling?
During a session, our certified Dry Needling specialist, Dr. Greg Zaharioudakis, PT, DPT, will:
- Assess your condition and identify areas of muscle tightness and pain
- Use fine, sterile needles to target overactive or dysfunctional muscles
- Stimulate a “twitch response,” releasing tension and restoring muscle function
- Help reduce muscle spasms, improve circulation, and promote long-term relief
Most patients feel immediate improvements in movement and pain levels after just one session!
Who Can Benefit from Dry Needling?
Dry Needling is highly effective for individuals experiencing:
- Chronic Pain Conditions (Fibromyalgia, Myofascial Pain Syndrome)
- Neck, Back, and Shoulder Pain
- Tension & Migraine Headaches
- Sports Injuries & Muscle Strains
- Joint Pain & Stiffness
- Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Dysfunction
- Post-Surgical Recovery
- Repetitive Strain Injuries (Carpal Tunnel, Tennis Elbow)
Whether you’re an athlete, recovering from an injury, or managing chronic pain, Dry Needling can help you get back to living pain-free!
