Functional Dry Needling (FDN) is a skilled therapeutic technique in which a trained physical therapist inserts small, sterile filament needles into the skin and muscle at a myofascial trigger point. This generates a twitch response, helping release muscle tension and pain.

FDN can be used to treat a variety of musculoskeletal issues including neck, back, arm and leg pain; headaches; and nerve pain.

Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) rehabilitation is an alternative treatment option for patients to help with regaining muscle strength.

BFR is typically used to treat pre and postoperative pain, weakness, and activity restrictions. A FDA-approved surgical tourniquet system (Delphi PTS) regulated machine helps provide consistent pressure to either your arm or leg. A specific protocol is followed and your therapist will incorporate exercises tailored to your injury. BFR has been shown to help patients regain strength faster utilizing lighter weights.

Graston Technique (GT) is an evidence-based method of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilizations (IASTM), that is combined with exercises and other manual treatment skills to improve musculoskeletal function.

GT incorporates the use of six specifically designed stainless steel instruments to aid in the detection and treatment of soft tissue dysfunction (tendinitis, muscle spasms/strains, headaches, nerve pain, scar tissue).

Cupping is a technique that is used to assist with pain management, decrease muscle or fascia tightness and promote healing. This is done by attaching plastic, glass, or silicone cups to the skin via suction.

Cupping helps release tension from tissues and draws blood flow to the area which starts an inflammatory process to promote healing. Typically, the cups are left in place or moved around by the therapist for 5-10 minutes. The therapist can also assist the patient with moving through motions that they are having difficulty performing due to pain or tightness. This technique can leave marks on the skin for a couple minutes to a couple days.

We offer aquatic therapy in partnership with the Williston ARC.

Aquatic therapy is beneficial for decreasing pressure on joints while strengthening, improving range of motion, and decreasing pain.
