Dry needling is a modern treatment method used by physical therapists that involves the insertion of fine needles into trigger points, or tight bands of muscle tissue, to relieve pain and improve mobility. It is considered an effective form of therapy for pain relief and works well in combination with other forms of physical therapy.

What Is a Dry Needling and Mobility Session?
Dry needling is an effective and non-invasive way to reduce muscle tension, ensure better joint stability, improve range of motion, optimize movement patterns, and ultimately enhance performance. During the procedure a small needle is inserted into the skin to penetrate the underlying muscles. This helps to release tension and reduce pain by increasing the circulation of oxygen-rich blood to the target area, allowing for faster healing.

"I was referred to the Performance Lab by two people for muscle tension, headaches, and arthritic pain. I have a membership for monthly massages and didn't think there would be much of a difference between the two but I was so wrong! Becky, Melissa, and Jordan have all treated me and I can’t say enough about how great they are! The treatment has done wonders for my headaches and I can’t imagine going anywhere else now!"

"Best place for physical therapy for back issues. My daughter missed a whole year of gymnastics due to back issues and we were recommended to the Performance Lab. She went twice a week for the whole year and was able to compete states, regionals and easterns without doing any meets for the entire year. Thank you Jordan for all that you did to help in getting her where she needed to be to compete."
