 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tony was incredible throughout my entire healing journey. I came in with incredible neck pain and dizziness. Within a couple weeks Tony gave me the exercises and tools to get relief, as well as provide dry needling that took the pain away. I am now able to exercise, lift and live without pain/dizziness!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tony is the best physical therapist I‘ve ever met.  He is very professional and good at providing dynamic and the most appropriate treatment/training plans specifically for your needs.  I benefited a lot from his months long physical therapy.  My lower back pains are gone, and my knees are getting stronger with each passing day.  I feel very lucky to have met him at my 60+ years age.  I would definitely recommend Tony to my relatives/friends who may need physical therapy help.

Dry Needling is also known as intramuscular stimulation (IMS) and trigger point dry needling (TDN). It is a safe, effective and efficient treatment used to:

Relax myofascial trigger points, and
Restore normal muscle tones, muscle length, coordination, function and strength

Dry Needling Process

Dry needling involves the insertion and repetitive manipulation of a “dry”, solid filament needle in a trigger point in order to produce an involuntary spinal cord reflex, also known as a local twitch response (LTR). This results in lasting muscle relaxation due to the release of shortened bands of muscle fibers for overactive (tight) muscles or the activation of under-active (weak) muscles. Deactivation of the trigger points can bring immediate relief of symptoms, so the therapist can immediately train the muscles to work with the newly gained pain free range of motion (ROM).

Dry needling is backed by scientific research as well as a modern Western medical practice. Dry needling is a neurophysiological evidence-based treatment technique and an effective treatment for chronic pain and other musculoskeletal conditions such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, rotator cuff tendonitis, reduced range of motion, repetitive motion disorders, like carpal tunnel syndrome, scar-tissue buildup, disk, and spinal problems, myofascial pain, and a lot more. To achieve the full effects of dry needling, most patients require at least two or three sessions in the office, however, others may require up to six office visits. Depending on your condition, dry needling can be performed once or twice a week.

FAQs about Dry Needling Physical Therapy

Does Dry Needling Actually Relieve Pain Fast?

If you’re dealing with tight muscles that won’t release, you want something that works quickly. At iCare, dry needling is used to target those problem areas directly so you can feel relief and move better, often after your first session.

Is Dry Needling Safe And Right For Me?

It’s normal to feel unsure, especially if you’ve never tried it before. We assess your condition first and use dry needling only when it fits your goals, making sure it’s both safe and effective for your recovery.

What Makes Dry Needling Work Better Here?

On its own, it can help, but the real results come from how it’s used. We combine dry needling with hands-on therapy and movement retraining so the relief actually lasts and doesn’t just come back later.

What conditions can dry needling physical therapy treat?

Dry needling may help with conditions such as neck pain, back pain, shoulder pain, headaches, plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, muscle tightness, and sports-related injuries.

How many dry needling sessions will I need?

The number of sessions depends on your condition, goals, and how your body responds to treatment. Some patients notice improvement after the first session, while others benefit from a series of visits combined with exercises and physical therapy.

David F.

I recently saw Tony for some extremely bad back pain. After one session with him my pain went from about an 8 (on a scale from 1-10) to about 3. After the second session, the pain was about a 1. He did several exercises in office, cupping and acupuncture and I’m so glad I went to see him. I would highly recommend him if you are having any kind of body pain.

"Cannot recommend Tony enough!"

Astrid B.

"Cannot recommend Tony enough! He is the first physical therapist that has taken the time to explain WHY certain exercise help my neck issues better than others. He really takes the time to listen to you and asks great follow up questions to pinpoint how to best help. I will be coming back to him if I ever run into issues in the future. only highly knowledgeable but also incredibly personable and approachable, making each appointment something I genuinely looked forward to. Recovery is never easy, but Dr. Liu’s dedication to my progress and his genuine investment in my journey made all the difference. He was always rooting for my success, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the personalized and effective care I received. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking exceptional physical therapy."

Now we working on improving posture, rebuilding and strengthening weak areas. He is also very friendly and good listener.
