Dry needling is used by trained physical therapists to ease muscular pain through very fine needles placed in trigger points in the tissue. Dry needling practitioners say the needle helps release the knot and relieve any muscle pain or spasms and the benefits are maximized when used in conjunction with physical therapy. At Bishop Physical Therapy, dry needling has produced positive outcomes for patients with back pain, neck pain, post-surgical pain, myofascial pain, sciatica, carpal tunnel, nerve pain, plantar fascitis, arthritis, jaw pain, headaches, migraines, all sports injuries and many other conditions.

Daniel Bishop, DPT, brought dry needling to the Mobile Bay area in 2009 after being trained by acupuncturist and American Dry Needling Institute founder, Yun-Tao Ma, PhD. Since that time Bishop has successfully treated more than 15,000 patients with chronic, debilitating pain, helping people return to a higher quality of life. He has continued his training with ‘Myopain’ seminars, Master Dry Needling courses and has obtained certifications in sports medicine, trauma, pain management and pelvic health.

“If you haven’t tried dry needling or completed a full plan of care in our clinic, you have not exhausted your natural pain solutions,” says Bishop. “Dry needling alleviates tension in tight tissues and initiates a healing response in injured tissue and can be your answer for your unresolved pain issues.”
