Therapeutic Dry Needling for Orthopedic and Pelvic Health Conditions

Dry needling is an evidence-based physical therapy technique used to treat muscle pain, tension, and movement dysfunction. It involves the insertion of a very thin, sterile, solid filament needle into specific areas of muscle tissue known as trigger points or areas of neuromuscular dysfunction.

Unlike injections, dry needling does not involve medication—the term “dry” simply means the needle contains no fluid.

Dry needling is commonly used to help with:

Muscle tightness and stiffness

Myofascial pain

Trigger points (“muscle knots”)

Localized muscle pain

Muscle guarding and protective tension

Pain related to poor movement patterns

What Are Our Clients Saying?

Joanna is an amazing physical therapist. I came to her for pelvic floor and bladder pain issues as well as back pain after seeing another pt for a year and having barely any improvement. She was very attentive and sympathetic during my initial visit and made me feel comfortable. She addressed the issues of anxiety surrounding my chronic pain condition and worked with me to develop a care plan that worked for me and my lifestyle. Within a few visits my pain was 70% better than it had been and I've been working with her continuously since to build strength and stability while keeping everything pain free. She is the best physical therapist in my opinion!

I have had back issues for many years and have had many sessions of PT until my back surgery in 2021. My follow-up PT was initially close to home with several different therapists. My surgeon recommended I see Joanna Fisher. She truly changed my life! I am constantly amazed at the depth of her knowledge and her ability to help a patient understand what each exercise did, showed why it worked and how certain movements gave relief. She would video me doing exercises and I would video her doing them so when I went home there was no second guessing. Her knowledge combined with her patience, warmth, kindness and encouragement have seen me through my back surgery recovery and now my neck and shoulder issues.

It is rare to find someone who “is the real deal” and the whole package. She makes me feel as if I am her only patient even though she is in great demand.

Joanna Fisher is incredible. She’s a true professional, approachable and thorough. She spends the time explaining, creating a very comfortable environment, and follows up. I’ve made tremendous progress - life changing!
