DRY NEEDLING CHIROPRACTOR IN CARROLLTON, TX
Dry needling is an advanced technique we use to treat soft tissue injuries to reduce pain and increase circulation. The needle can be "pistoned" or "fanned" in the area within the muscle tissue where myofascial trigger points are often targeted to get immediate results. Electrical stimulation units can also be connected to the needles if left in the muscle tissue to decrease pain and elicit muscle contractions.

TESTIMONIALS
Sio O.
My friend from flag football recommended Dr. Konner to me and now I'd recommend any sports friend to him. I waited until my pain kept me up at night to actually go. I came in with years long injuries, a previous PT regiment and continuing to do sports through these problems. After a few months of Dr. Konner's holistic plan of exercises, adjustments and dry needling, all my pain and mobility issues have significantly reduced. He understands how to work with an active sports lifestyle and recovery.
