Dry Needling

Similar to acupuncture, Dry Needling is a manual therapy that incorporates the use of very thin single-use monofilament needles to treat soft tissue dysfunction.

Dry Needling treatment with Dr. Sam Wagner of Rehab Lab Wisconsin

Dry needling can improve range of motion, decrease pain, and increase the function of the body.

By producing a very small lesion in a symptomatic area, or the peripheral nerves surrounding it, we can influence the body’s ability to heal that specific area. Dry needling can improve range of motion, decrease pain, and increase function of the body.

Dry needling is especially useful in chronic conditions such as:

  • Neck pain

  • Back pain

  • Headaches

  • Plantar fasciitis (fasciosis)

  • Patellar tendinitis (tendinosis)

  • Tennis elbow

  • Wrist pain

  • Hip pain

Benefits of Dry Needling:

  • Reduces pain

  • Accelerates your body’s natural healing processes

  • Resolves headaches and migraines

  • Increases blood flow

  • Lowers muscle tension

  • Helps with tendonitis
