At MVMT Chiropractic our providers are highly trained in dry needling. Dry needling is a technique that involves the insertion of fine needles into muscles, tendons, and sometimes joints, which helps with many different musculoskeletal injuries or conditions.
Unlike acupuncture Dry needling targets specific areas that are determined by your doctor based on their musculoskeletal assessment.
