Dry Needling
Dry needling involves the use of a thin monofilament needle that penetrates the skin and moves into the deep tissue. The goal behind a dry needling treatment is to assist with releasing tension form the tissues, facilitating a healthy inflammatory response and mechanically reducing pain. Dry needling can be useful in treating a variety of conditions.
At Stability In Wellness, our clinician utilizes a variety of learned protocols to address specific conditions. Dr. Shays begins with the base of the protocol and then builds on it, integrating patients' unique pain points into the treatment. She does so because she understands that no two people experience one condition the same way.
