IMS Dry Needling Edmonton

What Is Dry Needling?

Dry needling is a treatment we use at RECOVR Physiotherapy to help address pain and movement issues associated with myofascial trigger points. Trigger points, also known as muscle knots, are sensitive spots in soft tissue. With dry needling we can decrease muscle tightness, increase blood flow, and reduce pain.
