Upper Trap Dry Needling ⚑️
That constant neck and shoulder tightness? Or those headaches that creep up the back of your head? πŸ‘€
Your upper traps might be the real culprit.

Dry needling helps release deep trigger points that:
πŸ’’ Cause neck stiffness & shoulder tension
πŸ€• Trigger tension headaches
πŸ’ͺ Limit lifting or overhead motion

By resetting the muscle with electrical stimulation, we help you move freer, lighter, and pain-free again.
