OVERVIEW

ABOUT DRY NEEDLING

Dry needling is a way to get at those stubborn knots in your muscles that never seem to ease up on their own. The tiny sterile needle goes right into the knot, the trigger point, and the whole idea is to get the muscle to finally release. People who see it for the first time often think it looks like acupuncture, and in a way it does, but that is where the similarity stops. It gets used for headaches, back and shoulder pain, tendon flare-ups, plantar fasciitis, and even by athletes who stretch and stretch and still feel locked up.

BOOKING APPOINTMENTS

Appointments are simple to set up. Call if you want to talk through things, or use the online booking page if you prefer quick clicks. Either way, before the first session, we explain what is going to happen.

One treatment rarely fixes the whole issue. Most people end up needing several visits. Sessions are usually spaced over a few weeks, which gives your body time to respond.

DIAGNOSE

EXAM & IMAGING

Before the needle ever comes out, the therapist checks your range of motion, feels around for tight spots, and asks about what kind of pain you have been living with.

TREATMENTS

CUSTOM TREATMENT PROGRAM

The fine needle goes right into the knot. Some patients feel a twitch, others a little cramp, and some hardly notice more than a strange sensation, meaning the muscle is releasing.

FOLLOW UP

WE CALL TO CHECK IN

Relief usually grows session by session. Regular check-ins let the therapist see how you are responding, make adjustments as needed, and ensure the results last longer.

The front office staff, especially Cheri is wonderful to work with and happy to help with your needs. The therapists there have a great team and attitude. They definitely want to see you succeed. Ian has a great bedside manner but really they all do. I would recommend them anytime.

Fantastic results for chronic sciatica after just 3 weeks. Everyone is kind, helpful and meets you where you are at. I’m so grateful to have found Modern PT.

Modern Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine exceeded my expectations. Being able to get the diagnosis through ultrasound on the first visit is so much more efficient in diagnosing and determining the treatment plan. It was amazing to be able to see the collaboration between Dr. Davies, PT Tim Moxie and Ryan with ultrasound. They are all very caring and I am currently receiving outstanding PT through Tim for shoulder pain. They offer additional treatment options as well. The office staff is flexible. I am recommending this office to friends and family.

What Are You Experiencing?

Pain is hard to put into words. You might not have a good sense of what kind of care you need, and that’s OK. What matters is how things are right now. Please fill out this short form to summarize how things are. We will then follow up and take you through what may be causing the pain, as well as what may work as a solution.

LOW HIGH

SEVERE PAIN

If the pain is severe such that you are unable to deal, don’t wait. Call 911 or go straight to a hospital. Safety is essential, no matter what. That initial action, after which we are able to lend a hand in helping you find longer-term relief.

MODERATE PAIN / DISCOMFORT

Sometimes, pain will keep you from being brought to your knees, but it does disrupt your ability to function in daily life. Perhaps it’s intermittent and stabbing, or maybe it’s just present during the day. Let’s get those details from you, and we’ll do our best to determine what’s causing it.

MINOR PAINS & ACHES

Little aches hurt just as badly. A sore shoulder, stiff knees, or a throbbing ache that shows itself every once in a while can still have its toll. Let us know how you’ve been doing, and we’ll take care of it for you before it grows into something bigger.

Answering Your Questions

Can dry needling help with stress-related tightness?

Yes. Stress shows up in the body in all sorts of ways, like tight shoulders, a stiff neck, and even the jaw clenching without you noticing. Targeting those trigger points lets the muscle ease up. Many people say it feels like carrying less weight once the tension finally lets go.

If I’m busy, will it stop me from doing normal things?

Most of the time, no. People usually get right back to their routine, maybe just a bit sore, like after exercise that worked a muscle harder than usual. That feeling passes, and light movement or stretching often makes the relief hold better.

Is there a limit on how many times I can get it done?

There really isn’t a strict cap. Some need only a short round of visits. Others schedule a touch-up every so often if the pain sneaks back. It comes down to how your body responds and how long results tend to last for you.

Will it still work on an old injury?

Yes. Old injuries can leave scar tissue and muscles that stay tight years later. Treating those trigger points often gets them to release. Patients are often surprised when a spot they thought would always be stiff suddenly moves easier again.

What should I do after treatment?

There is nothing complicated. Some people use ice if they feel sore, others just keep up with light activity. Drinking water and moving around gently usually help more than sitting still. Any soreness fades within a day or two, but the relief tends to stay.

MODERN MEDICINE
CEO

"When an athlete gets injured, a team of doctors and therapists evaluates them, orders imaging, and decides the best path forward. If surgery is needed, they go straight to surgery; if not, they get condition-specific physical therapy and targeted injections to speed healing. This is the same process pro athletes use to get back on the field quickly—and at Modern, you can access that same level of care for the same cost as any other physical therapy clinic." - Josh Adams

Without Advanced Imaging

Your PT

is Operating Blindly.

WHY WE'RE DIFFERENT

CHOOSING THE MODERN WAY

What separates MODERN SPORTS MEDICINE from just about every other company is our physical therapists and orthopedists utlize advanced imaging technology to enable them to SEE what they are doing. Everyone else is operating blindly.

ADVANCED IMAGING + TREATMENT = MODERN
