Dry Needling
Dry Needling is a skilled treatment that has been shown to reduce pain, improve movement, and promote healing. The process involves inserting a very thin needle into muscle tissue to affect change at a neuromuscular level. While the use of needles can be intimidating, Boone’s highly skilled physical therapists are specially trained in the use of dry needling to speed up your recovery process with minimal discomfort. If massage or other interventions haven’t given you the lasting relief you were hoping for, consider dry needling. It provides quicker and longer lasting relief than many traditional treatments.
Check out some of the potential benefits of dry needling:
- Decreased pain and muscle tension
- Improved blood flow
- Positive changes to the central nervous system
- Decreased nerve hypersensitivity
- Reduced inflammation
- Accelerated healing time
Blood Flow Restriction Therapy
Blood Flow Restriction Therapy is a specialized treatment that promotes quicker and larger strength gains than regular strength training alone. It places less strain on joints and soft tissues and can be used to speed up recovery after injury or surgery.
What exactly is blood flow restriction therapy?
Specially trained physical therapists will place a tourniquet cuff on a limb and guide you through a specific exercise regimen. The pressure applied is specific and monitored throughout each exercise to ensure patient safety. The restricted blood flow to the limb forces muscles to work harder and creates greater strength gains with lower loads.
In studies, blood flow restriction therapy resulted in more muscle mass, more endurance, and more strength with less resistance. Reach out to your physician to see if blood flow restriction training with a Boone therapist is the right option for you.

Choosing a Therapy Services Team
Deciding where to have your therapy is an important decision.
Not all therapy services departments are created equal. It’s important to understand that just because your doctor or insurance refers you to a specific facility does not mean it’s the best place for you or your care. You will sometimes be referred to the most affordable center, not necessarily the best. At the end of the day, the decision is yours—and you should choose a therapy service that puts your worries at ease.
There are important factors to consider when your health is in someone else’s hands. Click on any of the "Learn More" buttons above to read more about the therapy services at Boone Hospital. We are confident that afterwards you will be able to completely place your trust in our Therapy Services team and Choose Boone for your therapy services!
A referral from your physician is required to be seen at Therapy Services. Ask your physician if a referral to therapy is right for you.
