Dry Needling is one of the most powerful tools in modern physical therapy but it’s often misunderstood.

At NextGen, we use it for far more than tight muscles.
From arthritis and nerve pain to scar tissue and pelvic floor dysfunction, dry needling allows us to treat deep sources of pain and dysfunction with precision and science.

Using techniques like periosteal, perineural, and ultrasound-guided needling, we’re targeting the very structures that traditional approaches can’t reach. This restores blood flow, decreases inflammation, and jumpstarts your body’s natural healing response.

Integrating dry needling with manual therapy and exercise has been repeatedly shown to produce superior outcomes in therapy.

This isn’t “alternative care.”
It’s advanced, evidence-based medicine done locally.

Over the next few days, we’ll be highlighting some of the treatment options that set NextGen PT + Wellness apart - the tools, techniques, and training methods that make our approach unique to the region.

But before we dive in, it’s important to start with the foundation of what makes our care different: Osteopractic Care.

At NextGen, we don’t limit ourselves to just treating pain and generalized rehabilitation. We focus on restoring function through a combination of advanced manual therapy and true strength training, because healing the neuromusculoskeletal system takes more than a quick fix (and a LOT more than a red Theraband!)

We believe in loading tissues, retraining movement, and rebuilding strength to create long-term results. Every patient, from athletes to everyday movers, deserves individualized, evidence-based care designed to help them move, live, and feel their best.

Stay tuned as we walk you through the treatments that make NextGen what it is: the next generation of physical therapy.
Because your body deserves it and we’re here to deliver it. 💪🏼

Meet Dr. Haylee Bruns, DPT — one of our NextGen powerhouses and the definition of energy, strength, and connection.

With a background in athletics and performance, Haylee brings a fun and holistic approach to therapy. She believes rehab should challenge you, empower you, and make you actually enjoy the process of getting stronger.

Whether she’s working with athletes, moms, or anyone chasing better movement, Haylee’s goal is the same: build strength that lasts far beyond the clinic.

Get to know her more in today’s post!

Haylee is accepting new patients in Verdigre, Niobrara, and Bloomfield. Reach out to work with her! 🤗✨

Where can you find us? BOTH Verdigre and Niobrara!

We’ve had lots of questions lately and we want to clear up any confusion. NextGen PT is not leaving Verdigre. Our Verdigre clinic remains open Monday–Friday, and we’re thrilled to now be expanding services into Niobrara as well!

Our Niobrara location will begin soft opening this week to start seeing patients while we finish setting up equipment (a few shipping delays can’t slow us down 💪🏼). Official opening details and group fitness + wellness programming will be announced soon…stay tuned!

We’re also proud to serve Yankton for pelvic floor and wellness services, continuing our mission to bring the highest level of physical therapy and wellness care across Northeast Nebraska and Southeast South Dakota.

With the ONLY board-certified orthopedic, manual therapy, and pelvic floor specialists in the region, we bring education, experience, and advanced tools that set a new standard for small-town healthcare.

Hot off the press! 📰🔥

The research Brenna helped complete on dry needling for knee osteoarthritis as part of her orthopedic fellowship has officially been published!

Huge shoutout to the incredible patients from our small Northeast Nebraska communities who volunteered to be part of this project. You helped move the science forward (and many of you probably didn’t even realize you’d end up in an international journal 🤓)!

Crazy to think this was done over two years ago, and as always in research, by the time results are published, we’ve already evolved the techniques even further!

What exactly is PIEDN and how are we utilizing it in our clinic today? Stay tuned as we’ll be sharing a follow-up post breaking down what this technique is, why it’s different, and how it’s changing outcomes for our patients! 💪🏼

Help us wish a HUGE Happy Birthday to our PT rockstar, Haylee! 🎂🎉

She’s the newest face on the NextGen team but has already made such a big impact — from sports med to performance training, and everything in between. She keeps patients laughing through lunges and somehow still crushes her own workouts after a full caseload. 💪🏼

We’re so lucky to have her on the team — and today we get to celebrate HER. 🎉
