Acupuncture-style release for deep myofascial and nerve pain.
Dry needling uses thin, solid needles inserted into trigger points, which are tight knots in the muscle that cause pain, stiffness, and referred discomfort in other areas of the body. It is not traditional acupuncture. It is based on modern neuroscience and targets the specific muscle tissue causing your symptoms.
Dr. Clay has over 100 hours of acupuncture and dry needling training. He uses this technique to reach deep muscle tissue that hands alone cannot always access, creating a release that restores blood flow, reduces inflammation, and calms the nervous system.
Dr. Clay identifies the trigger points through palpation and your description of where the pain refers.
Thin needles are inserted into the trigger points. You may feel a brief twitch response, which is the muscle releasing.
The needles stay in place for a few minutes while the tissue relaxes.
After removal, you may feel immediate relief. Some soreness in the treated area is normal for 24-48 hours.
Specific, hands-on realignment tuned to each person's needs.
Trigger-point and soft-tissue work to free up tight, bound muscle.
Suction therapy to boost circulation and ease tension.
Guided scraping to break up adhesions and speed recovery.
Supportive taping that keeps you moving between visits.
Targeted sound waves to calm inflammation and promote healing.
Cold therapy to settle acute flare-ups and swelling.
Corrective movement so the work holds long after you leave.
A whole-body, functional-medicine approach to feeling well.
