A series of progressive exercises helps you help yourself, and gets you back to the things you love to do again pain free, without medication, or fearing that the problem will come back.

DRY NEEDLING
Dry needling is not for everyone. It is a technique that involves a thin needle being inserted into the skin, that can help to stimulate underlying trigger points, muscular and connective tissues.
Trigger points are classified as taut bands of muscle located within a larger muscle group. Trigger points can be tender to the touch, and touching a trigger point may cause pain to refer to other parts of the body. Pain relief, improved range of movement, improved function and improved muscle activation are all benefits that can be gained from dry needling.
SHOCKWAVE THERAPY
Shockwave therapy has proven benefits for tendon issues of the elbow, Achilles,Knee and shoulder. It assists the healing of both long term and short term tendon issues by creating a reaction within the tissue to bring the healing white blood cells to the tissue to help it repair.
