DRY NEEDLING

Dry needling is a technique used to treat trigger point pain and myofascial pain. Other terms commonly used to describe dry needling, include Acupuncture, trigger point dry needling, and intramuscular manual therapy. We are the only therapists in the Greater Chicago area who have extensive training in both Dry Needling and Orthopedic Acupuncture.

We have extensive training in both Dry Needling and Orthopedic Acupuncture. An initial consultation with Dr. Amy Wolf is required to find out if you are a candidate for Dry Needling. If you are determined to be a candidate, we can perform your first procedure the same day.
