Dry needling immediately changed our practice after we were certified.

From day one, we noticed how much faster and accurate Dr. Johnston was at treating muscle injuries. Patients responded to care almost immediately and it produced lasting results.

How it works

Dry needling allows us to contact whatever muscle, tendon, or ligament we are needing to treat.

Before dry needling, we were limited to whatever we could touch with our hands outside of the skin. We have dry needles of all lengths that help us contact even the deepest of muscle pains.

The way that dry needling works is by causing minute damage to the tissue forcing it to have to heal.

72 hours after the initial damage, an injury is considered chronic: that means there is no more blood and inflammation (such as bruising and swelling) to heal the region.

Within the blood and inflammation there are all the healing materials that we need to repair, but sometimes full recovery does not happen. Sometimes, the body can use some help.

Dry needling the injured muscle keeps it in the acute stage and at this stage of repair. No matter how old the injury the body still has potential to heal.

“[My] treatment was for, Sciatica, TMJ, neck, back ,hip and even a toe that had been in pain. The relief was unbelievable! Treatment consisted of dry needling, massage, [laser] therapy and gentle adjustments!”

“My first experience here was after surgery when dry needling was recommended —this and the other modalities used in the rehab process worked wonders…If you would like to give dry needling a try—this is the place to do it!”

“As a new mom with many aches and pains I came running to Dr. Johnston for some shoulder and back relief. After he finished, dry needling especially, I felt like a new woman.”

Dry needling accompanied by therapeutic exercise, manual adjustments, soft tissue massage, and laser therapy make for a great treatment cocktail that has proven to give great results.
