Safe and Effective Treatment for Pain Relief
We are excited to introduce you to this safe and effective treatment option for pain relief and improved function. Our treatment is performed by Dr. Jake Bunch, a licensed Doctor of Physical Therapy with extensive experience in dry needling.
Dry needling is a technique that involves inserting thin needles into trigger points, or knots, in muscle tissue to release tension and reduce pain. This treatment has been proven successful in treating a variety of conditions, including back pain, neck pain, headaches, joint pain, and muscle strains.
Dr. Jake Bunch utilizes his advanced knowledge of anatomy and musculoskeletal system to identify and target specific trigger points with precision. He has helped numerous patients find relief from chronic pain and improve their overall quality of life through dry needling.
Benefits of Dry Needling Therapy
Pain Relief
▼Dry needling therapy can help reduce pain and discomfort in the affected area by releasing tension and promoting blood flow to the muscles. This targeted approach addresses the root cause of pain at trigger points, providing effective relief for chronic and acute pain conditions.
Improved Range of Motion
▼By reducing muscle tension and tightness, dry needling therapy can improve range of motion and joint mobility. This enhanced flexibility helps restore normal movement patterns and reduces the risk of future injury.
Faster Recovery
▼Dry needling therapy can help speed up the recovery process by promoting healing and reducing inflammation. The increased blood flow to treated areas accelerates tissue repair and helps you return to normal activities more quickly.
Non-Invasive Treatment
▼Unlike some other treatments, dry needling therapy is a minimally invasive procedure that does not require medication or surgery. This natural approach to pain relief offers an alternative for patients seeking effective treatment without pharmaceutical intervention.
Customized Treatment
▼Dr. Jake Bunch will tailor the dry needling treatment to your specific needs, ensuring that you receive the best possible care for your condition. Each session is designed around your individual pain patterns and treatment goals for optimal results.
