Our Ideal Patient
If you are struggling with stubborn muscle pain, painful trigger points, or tension headaches that just won't quit, we are here to help. We specialize in treating sports injuries and chronic pain that hasn't responded to traditional care, providing a clinical path toward deep muscular release, lasting comfort, and peak physical performance.
Conditions Treated by Needling
Myofascial Trigger Points
Localized muscular knots that cause referred pain, restricted movement, and stiffness in various muscle groups throughout the body.
Neck and Back Pain
Acute or chronic spinal discomfort caused by muscle strain, disc issues, or poor posture that responds well to targeted muscle release.
Shoulder and Hip Pain
Treatment for rotator cuff issues, bursitis, and labral tears to restore full joint mobility and reduce local inflammation.
Tension Headaches
Recurring headaches originating from muscle tightness in the neck and scalp, successfully alleviated by releasing upper cervical tension.
TMJ & Jaw Pain
Relief for clicking, locking, and soreness in the jaw area by targeting the masseter and temporalis muscles to improve function.
Repetitive Overuse Injuries
Conditions like tennis elbow or tendonitis where repetitive stress causes painful inflammation in the soft tissues and tendons.
Dry Needling
At Perfect Ten Physical Therapy, our specialized dry needling begins with a thorough assessment. We pinpoint exact neuromuscular trigger points to safely target the root causes of your chronic pain.
The Process
Using fine, sterile filiform needles, we target hyperirritable spots within the muscle tissue to effectively release deep tension.
How It Feels
You might experience a quick involuntary twitch response or a mild ache, which quickly transitions into deep muscle relaxation.
Total Integration
We instantly combine this release with active movement and targeted strengthening to solidify your functional progress.
Benefits of Dry Needling Care
Effective Pain Reduction
Inactivating trigger points to interrupt pain signals and provide immediate relief from muscular distress and chronic aches without medication.
Decreased Muscle Tension
Releasing tight bands of tissue to restore blood flow, relax stiff muscles, and eliminate the knots that cause radiating discomfort.
Improved Mobility & Movement
Restoring your full range of motion and joint fluidity by improving how muscles contract and relax during your daily physical activities.
Faster Recovery Time
Accelerating the body's natural healing response to resolve injuries quickly, allowing you to return to the sports and life you love.
