Dry needling involves inserting fine needles into muscle tissue, ligaments or tendons. It can be helpful in releasing chronically tight muscles and also muscles in spasm. This allows exercises to be performed more effectively and the pain cycle can be broken. The needle is inserted into the muscle and a twitch response is elicited from the muscle. This twitch means that the muscle is ‘releasing’ and the needle will continue to be manipulated until the twitch ceases. A pain referral pattern may also be experienced during treatment from the trigger point. Dry needling can be used on a variety of patients to treat back pain, neck pain, shoulder injuries, knee injuries, etc. #Austin_physical_therapy #Physical_therapy

At Austin Physical Therapy Specialists, we are specialized in holistic physical therapy, which focuses on helping your body heal and regenerate naturally. Conventional treatments for chronic pain are usually ineffective, because they usually don’t do anything to enhance the body’s natural healing process. The focus is often on managing the symptoms, without impacting the actual cause of the condition. We provide LightForce Class IV Laser Therapy, which is an innovative and powerful treatment that penetrates the injured tissue, resulting in faster healing and natural pain relief. #Therapy_specialists #Physical_therapy

Often patients with pelvic floor dysfunction consult physicians in a variety of specialties, to understand their their condition. Fact is, many pelvic floor/women’s health issues are caused by dysfunctional muscles, connective tissues and joints that can cause pain and disruption of pelvic floor function. Over the past decade, a small number of physical therapists are now providing pelvic floor physical therapy. Physical therapists specialize in the treatment of nervous system, muscle, tendon, and joint disorders. This being the case, pelvic floor disorders, which are commonly caused by tight, weak, spasmed, and uncoordinated pelvic floor muscles, (and often times the involvement of the lower abdominals, lower back and hip muscles) can be addressed by the well-trained physical therapists at Austin Physical Therapy Specialists. #Physical_therapy #Physical_therapy_near_me
