Dry Needling
IS IT TIME TO TRY DRY NEEDLING?
Dry needling at Alkeme Sports RX is often an indicated treatment, but most often we find patients open up to the idea when other treatments they have tried have not helped. And most of the time dry needling does the trick! By increasing blood flow and creating micro trauma to deep tissue structures, we can stimulate a healing environment and get you on your way to recovery!
What Can I Gain From Dry Needling
There is a large variety of musculoskeletal issues that can be treated with dry needling. Common diagnoses we treat with dry needling include muscle strains, post operative scars, plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, tendonopathies, tennis elbow, golfers elbow, jumpers knee, muscle spasms, patellar tendonitis, achilles tendonitis, low back pain, neck pain, mid back pain, rotator cuff strain and so much more.
When paired with our traditional exercise-based physical therapy treatments and advanced manual therapy techniques, we have found that the vast majority of our patients achieved the pain-free goals they were aiming towards. We specialize in treating sports injuries and helping athletes get back in the game.
After conducting a comprehensive evaluation to assess the nature of your condition, our Miami and Broward physical therapists will let you know if this is the best course of treatment for you.
We have used dry needling to treat several diverse conditions, from chronic pain sufferers, to athletes experiencing delayed onset muscle soreness.
What Our Clients are Saying?
So I’ve been to a lot of physical therapy places over the years, for injuries to my lower back, hip, ankle, inguinal hernia, and my upper body, Alkemē Sports Rx did an excellent job rehabbing my inguinal hernia repair.
The staff is incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about their patients’ progress and well-being. They are very detailed in the rehab process.
Brian did an amazing job on rehabbing my Achilles with the dry needling treatment. They took the time to thoroughly evaluate my condition and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to my needs. Each session was both productive and encouraging, with clear explanations of the exercises and their benefits.
I would recommend Alkemē Sports Rx to everyone. A lot of physical therapy places will do the basic physical therapy exercises, and most of the times it doesn’t help, the reason is because basic physical therapy places don’t go in depth to fix the injury. At Alkemē Sports Rx, trust the process.

I started with Alkeme for my rehab for many reasons. First due to the high recommendations I got when I asked around for a great rehab facility. Second, after trying multiple rehab spots I knew I needed something more than just a 30 min session. As most of you may know when looking for rehab facilities, a lot of them are just the generic type. Alkeme is completely opposite. Not only do they care for you as a client, they put your needs first, deal with you one on one for a hour plus, they do more then just your typical rehab exercises, from needling to deep tissue massage, to Electric stimulation, it’s changed my body! I’ve done rehab at many places and Alkeme has been my favorite

So, What Does Dry Needling Do?
This treatment method is used by our licensed Miami & Davie physical therapists as a way to relieve pain.
When performing the treatment, our physical therapist will insert a small sterile needle through the skin, into the underlying tendons, ligaments, or muscles that have been affected, in order to relieve pain, decrease muscle tension, improve mobility and stimulate healing. Typically we will leave the needles in place for 10-15 minutes with electrical stimulation through the needles, to penetrate deep into the muscle bellies, tendons or even joint spaces.
While it is a common misconception, dry needling is not acupuncture although it does use the same needle. While there are some similarities, dry needling is strictly based on Western medicine principles and research.
Dry needling provides an environment that enhances the body’s ability to heal, ultimately reducing pain in the process.
