Alternative Treatment for Acute and Chronic Pain

If you have a painful condition that affects your quality of life, St. Mary’s Center for Rehabilitation offers a procedure that may help.

Dry needling uses extremely thin, sterile needles that are guided into very specific locations. It helps induce an inflammatory response with the goal of improving blood flow and relaxing the muscle. Dry needling also releases natural compounds in the body that can help reduce the sensation of pain.
