Dry Needling & Ultrasound-Guided Dry Needling in Bergen County, NJ

What is Dry Needling?

Dry Needling is a therapeutic technique that involves inserting thin, sterile needles into muscles, tendons, and ligaments to stimulate healing, pain relief, and tissue repair. Unlike acupuncture, which is based on traditional Chinese medicine, Dry Needling is rooted in modern medical research and neurophysiology to restore normal function and mobility.

For precise targeting of dysfunctional tissues, we offer Ultrasound-Guided Dry Needling, which allows our specialists to visualize the injured structures in real time and accurately place the needle exactly where it's needed to fix the root cause of the problem. This advanced approach enhances treatment effectiveness, particularly for deep or hard-to-reach tissues.

How Does Dry Needling Work?
