Coach Amy is Now Certified in Advanced Neurological Dry Needling
Coach Amy applies electrical stimulation with advanced dry needling techniques to decrease inflammation in the knee joint without the use of medication or steroids.
Patient function is Coach Amy’s ultimate goal. To further her ability to help her patients, Coach Amy earned her certification in Advanced Neurological Dry Needling (ANDN) from the Integrative Dry Needling Institute this spring. With these advanced techniques, she can more effectively reduce inflammation. When inflammation is reduced and the nerves are no longer irritated, muscle guarding decreases, and biomechanics are restored.
ANDN is effective in the treatment of many ailments including:
Headaches and migraines
Temporomandibular dysfunction (TMJD)
Shoulder, neck, back, hip, knee, ankle, and foot pain
Chronic pain
Acute and overuse sports injuries
Sports performance enhancement
“Regardless of the cause of injury, the source of pain is irritated nerves. The best way to calm irritated nerves is by restoring their normal chemistry. In all my years of practice, I’ve found that neurological dry needling is the most effective way to restore normal chemistry.”
Treatment typically takes 1 to 6 visits. Several factors impact the number of visits needed:
Chronicity of the problem
Age and overall health of the patient
Complexity of the injury
Usually, ANDN does not completely correct the problem. Coach Amy uses other treatment methods in combination with dry needling to address the root cause of an injury, including addressing gait mechanics, proprioceptive deficits, posture, training errors, and limitations in stability and mobility.
