Schedule Your AppointmentWhat is Dry Needling?
Dry needling is a proven technique used by our Doctors of Physical Therapy in Franklin, TN to relieve muscle pain, improve mobility, and speed recovery. At Elevate615, dry needling is always performed as part of a one-on-one session with a licensed provider, ensuring safe, effective, and personalized care.
Dry needling is a skilled intervention where a thin, filiform needle is inserted into trigger points or tight bands of muscle. Unlike acupuncture, which is based on traditional Chinese medicine, dry needling is rooted in modern physical therapy and neuroscience. The goal is to release muscle tension, decrease pain, and restore normal movement patterns.
