CORE Physical Therapy is owned and operated by a husband and wife team since 2015. Since the beginning the have offered trigger point functional dry needling for their athletes and patients providing them with immediate relief from knotted up muscles and compensation patterns. Needling allows a muscle to return to its resting state and allow a doctor of physical therapy a clan slate to fix the root of the issue so that the trigger point does not return at a later date.

Dry needling is safe and effective. Session of the needling alone take mere minutes in most cases and allow much faster recovery times and more formal testing conducted much sooner in the rehab process.
