Dry Needling
Dry needling is an invasive technique used by trained physical therapists to treat myofascial pain caused by trigger points. A dry needle is inserted without medication or injection into areas of the muscle that are causing pain. Trigger points can be tender to touch and can refer pain to other areas of the body. Physical therapists use dry needling to release and inactivate the trigger points, and thus relieve pain. Dr. Jenkins is certified through the American Academy of Manipulative Therapy for dry needling.
Cupping
Cupping is a traditional method of treatment for various types of pain. Dry cupping is most common. The goal of cupping is to regulate and promote the movement of blood that is caused by stasis. Cupping may also accelerate microcirculation and relieve muscle spasms.
