Pinpoint Your Pain with Dry Needling
6 – 7:30 p.m., John H. Ammon Medical Education Center
Muscle aches and tightness can interfere with your life by limiting your activities, from playing with your children to going for a daily walk or run. Traditional treatments, such as stretching and massage, may only offer temporary relief and may not target the cause of the problem. In this presentation, a team of Christiana Care physical therapists will discuss dry needling: what it is and how they use it to ease muscle aches and tightness throughout the body and alleviate pain with pinpoint precision.
Presenters will include Chris Dougherty, DPT; Lorin Lyons, MPT, OCS; Todd Everett, DSc, MPT, OCS, COMT; and Travis Ross, DPT.
Register today online at events.christianacare.org or by calling 800-693-CARE (2273).
