How we Treat
We start by inserting sterile one time use monofilament needles to the affected area. Each needle stays in the designated area any time between 10 seconds to 20 minutes depending on the treatment effect desired. In some cases needles and electrical stimulation are used for nerve stimulating, reduction of pain, muscle growth, and neuromuscular connection.
