Dry Needling

Are Aches and Pains Affecting Your Daily Life? 

Dry Needling Can Help!

Is pain preventing you from living your life to its fullest potential? Experience the transformative power of evidence-based treatment known as dry needling at Maverick Physiotherapy, and find unparalleled relief!

Dry needling has roots in acupuncture and has evolved into a scientifically validated technique. Instead of focusing on traditional energy meridians, dry needling targets anatomical structures of the body, specifically the trigger points causing pain and dysfunction. Research supports the effectiveness of dry needling in reducing pain and enhancing function in patients with various musculoskeletal conditions.

Dry needling is a safe, natural, and evidence-based treatment involving the insertion of thin, sterile needles into tight, painful knots or muscle trigger points. Dry needling can release tension, promote blood flow, and relieve pain and discomfort by targeting these specific areas. This results-oriented approach works harmoniously with the body’s natural healing mechanisms, empowering patients to achieve optimal health and functionality.

Our personalized approach ensures you receive the most effective and appropriate treatment for your unique circumstances.

Dry Needling is An Evidence-Based Approach to Pain Relief 

Dry needling is a minimally invasive, scientifically-backed physical therapy technique that has gained popularity due to its effectiveness in treating musculoskeletal and neuromuscular conditions. Dry needling aids patients in achieving enhanced mobility and improved overall functionality by targeting specific trigger points and providing relief.

Our physical therapists frequently employ this innovative method to address the following conditions:

  • Myofascial pain syndrome: This condition stems from trigger points or tight knots in the muscles, leading to localized or referred pain elsewhere in the body.
  • Tension headaches and migraines: Chronic muscle tension in the neck and shoulders can cause these debilitating headaches.
  • Lower back pain: A common complaint among adults, lower back pain often arises from muscle imbalances, poor posture, or spinal misalignment.
  • Fibromyalgia: This chronic disorder is characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and localized tenderness.
  • Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders: Issues with the jaw joint and surrounding muscles can cause pain and discomfort in the face, neck, and head.

At Maverick Physiotherapy, our team of experienced physical therapists is dedicated to promoting optimal health and functionality using evidence-based, results-oriented treatments. Dry needling is a robust tool in combating chronic pain, allowing you to reclaim control over your body and live a more fulfilling life.

See How We Have Helped Patients Recover!

I was having pain in my ankle that was worsening every day to the point that it was painful to even walk. I went to Maverick Physiotherapy and saw Dr. Richlen, and I was so impressed with him. He was very personable and professional, and after a few visits with him and following his instructions I improved every week and was fully pain-free in a month.

Worked with Dr. Eric after a grade 2 knee sprain among other things, namely some lat and shoulder issues. Was healthy within a few months after 1-2 visits a week. He was fantastic, very personable, super knowledgeable, gave me a very efficient and effective plan. Also really affordable. Can’t recommend enough!
