Functional Dry Needling is a powerful modality utilized at Rock and Armor to treat a myriad of injuries. Sterile, tiny monofilament needles are inserted into muscles to reduce trigger point activity, release shortened bands of tissue, and promote new blood flow and healing to the site of injury.

NMES is utilized until normal muscle recruitment is achieved.

The Y-Balance test helps athletes compare strength, balance, and coordination of their right lower extremity vs left lower extremity following injury or surgical procedures. A score of 5 or more cm’s can indicate significant muscle imbalance that requires further care.

Joint manipulations, or high velocity/low amplitude thrusts (HVLAT) are an effective treatment for hypombile or “stuck” joints of the spine. These manipulations can improve neural conductivity, joint space, and release of endorphins, allowing a decrease in pain and an improvement in mobility.
