1. Functional Dry Needling (IMS): Functional Dry Needling: A Solution for Pain and Movement Dysfunction Functional dry needling (FDN) is a skilled intervention performed by physical therapists, using thin, sterile needles to target trigger points within muscles. These trigger points are often the source of pain, muscle tightness, and limited range of motion. How Does FDN Work?

• Trigger Point Release: FDN needles are inserted into trigger points, causing a local twitch response. This response helps to relax the muscle, reduce pain, and improve blood flow.
• Neuromuscular Re-education: FDN can help to improve communication between the brain and muscles, leading to better coordination and movement patterns.
• Pain Reduction: By addressing the underlying cause of pain, FDN can provide significant and lasting relief.

Benefits of Functional Dry Needling:

• Reduced pain and muscle tension
• Improved range of motion and flexibility
• Enhanced muscle function and coordination
• Faster recovery from injuries
• Improved athletic performance

Conditions Treated with FDN:

• Neck and back pain
• Headaches and migraines
• Shoulder pain
• Hip and knee pain
• Tendinitis and bursitis
• Sciatica
• Plantar fasciitis
• And more

Is FDN Safe? FDN is a safe and effective treatment when performed by a qualified physical therapist. The needles used are very thin and sterile, minimizing the risk of discomfort or complications.

What to Expect During an FDN Session: Your physical therapist will assess your condition and identify the trigger points contributing to your pain. They will then insert the needles into the trigger points, which may cause a brief twitching sensation. Most people find FDN to be well-tolerated. If you’re looking for a safe, effective way to reduce pain, improve movement, and enhance your overall well-being, functional dry needling may be right for you.
