What is dry needling?

Dry needling is a pain management technique used by trained healthcare professionals - often physical therapists - to relieve muscle pain and improve mobility. It can also be used with electric stimulation to activate dormant muscles that can cause other muscles to be spasmed and/or imbalanced.

How does dry needling work?

A very thin, solid needle is inserted into trigger points (tight, knotted areas in muscle). This neurological reset can cause a twitch response followed by a sensation of relaxed musculature and sometimes soreness. Dry needling reduces trigger point pain, tension, and improves blood flow in the area.

Does Dry Needling hurt?

The needle is very thin and people often do not feel the needle insertion. A feeling of pressure before the twitch response is normal.

What is the difference between dry needling and acupuncture?

Both dry needling and acupuncture use thin sterile stainless steel needles to stimulate the body’s natural healing process by releasing endorphins and other natural pain-relieving chemicals. Dry needling is a Western medicine approach targeting "trigger points" (knotted muscles) while acupuncture is an Eastern medicine approach targeting "acupoints" which are connected to the flow of energy, or Qi. Acupuncture is based on energy flow while dry needling addresses muscle tension at its palpable source.

What is the Functional Movement Screen?

The Functional Movement Screen (FMS) is a screening tool used to evaluate seven fundamental movement patterns in individuals with no current pain complaint or musculoskeletal injury. The FMS is intended to target opportunities for improved movement in individuals and prevent injury among athletes. The FMS highlights where a patient may have too much or too little flexibility and/or strength. The FMS provides a blueprint for all customized exercise programs - specific to each patient.

Will I need a script from my physician?

No. New Jersey law allows Direct Access to physical therapists. This means that you can see a physical therapist without a medical prescription. Once we evaluate you, we follow Direct Access law by communicating with your physician to request further approval, if necessary.

Are you licensed?

Yes. Julie is licensed to practice physical therapy in the state of New Jersey by the New Jersey State Board of Medical Examiners. You can look up her credentials at: https://npiregistry.cms.hhs.gov

What type of equipment will you bring, if you’re treating me in my home?

We offer the portability of an outpatient clinic. From the treatment table, to the exercise equipment, to the modalities (ultrasound and electrical stimulation), we bring it all with us to treat you.
