Dry Needling

Meddling in muscle...I've become a firm believer.

Kim Ferguson is one of our Physical Therapists here at Back to Basics in Roanoke, VA, who has just returned from completing a course on dry needling. Now confident, competent, and fully capable of delivering this fascinating service, she is ready to join the small number of providers in the Roanoke valley, who have helped so many find freedom from tension in both their body and mind.

Dry needling is currently practiced in 11 states of the USA, UK, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, New Zealand, and many other countries. First developed in the 1940's by former medical advisor to the White House, dry needling is a powerful aide in minimizing inflammation, contractures, tissue adhesions, as well as restoring biomechanical imbalances of the musculoskeletal system.

As one individual who is also a practicing therapist, I have seen the benefits of dry needling first hand in both my patients and myself. The results, I can assure you, are immediate and long lasting. Muscle soreness is a possible aftermath for some, but a small price to pay in light of the pain that has quaked many patients from their normal routine and into a state of disability.

So, my advice is simply this...give it a shot...literally.
