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

Treatment typically takes 1 to 6 visits. Several factors impact the number of visits needed:

1. Chronicity of the problem

2. Age and overall health of the patient

3. 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.
