Who does Dr Hughes treat?
Dry Needling
Trigger point dry needling is an incredible adjunct to treatment that targets painful/tight spots in your muscles that can refer pain to other areas in your body. An acupuncture needle is used to directly target the trigger point and release the tension, reduce/eliminate referred pain, and re-establish homeostasis at the point of the trigger point.
Dr Hughes has been certified by Myopain Seminars in dry needling for over 5 years and has completed thousands of sessions. He has seen unprecedented positive results for such issues as musculogenic headaches, shoulder pain, back pain, neck pain, hip pain, and pain that mimics issues such as sciatica and IT-band syndrome.
Not everyone is suitable for trigger point dry needling, and Dr Hughes will perform a detailed examination and gather all necessary patient history to determine efficacy of this procedure. Click the link below for more detailed explanation of trigger point dry needling.
