Balance and Vertigo
Vertigo is a feeling of spinning and can come and go through a life time. Some patients may have vertigo once but still not feel right and describe dizziness or feelings of being off balance. PTs can evaluate symptoms to see if you are having vertigo, also known as Benign Proximal Positional Vertigo and provide treatments. Dizziness can be from a weakened vestibular system. Loss of balance can be related to numerous things and a full PT evaluation can help determine an appropriate course of action for you.
Chronic Pain
Dry Needling
Dry needling is a therapeutic technique used to treat muscle pain and trigger points by inserting thin needles into specific areas of muscle tissue. Unlike acupuncture, which focuses on balancing energy flow, dry needling targets physical pain and muscle dysfunction. The needles are inserted directly into tight or knotted muscle fibers, often causing a "twitch response," which helps release tension and reduce pain. It is commonly used for conditions like myofascial pain, muscle strains, headaches, and sports injuries, with the goal of improving mobility, relieving muscle tightness, and alleviating pain. While it may cause temporary soreness, dry needling can offer significant relief for those suffering from musculoskeletal pain.
