Tired of Living with Neck Pain?

Is neck pain making your daily activities a struggle? At Steve Kravitz Physical Therapy, we understand how debilitating neck pain can be. But did you know there's an effective, evidence-based treatment that can help? Introducing Dry Needling!

What is Dry Needling?

Dry needling is a specialized technique using thin needles to target and relieve muscle pain. By deactivating painful "trigger points," dry needling helps reduce muscle pain and soreness, improve flexibility, and promote healing.

How Does It Work?

When the needle is inserted into the muscle, it creates a twitch response, signaling the muscle to relax. This intramuscular release helps alleviate pain and tension, allowing for more effective physical therapy.

Dry needling is an excellent option for both acute and chronic injuries, helping you recover faster and get back to your normal, pain-free life.

Ready to find relief? Contact us at (615) 840-3281 or visit us in Nashville, TN, to learn more about how dry needling can help you. Don’t let neck pain hold you back any longer. Book your appointment today and start your journey to a pain-free life!

Struggling with Lower Back Pain? Discover the Benefits of CranioSacral Therapy!

At Steve Kravitz Physical Therapy, we're excited to offer CranioSacral Therapy (CST) right here in Nashville, TN! This gentle, hands-on approach targets the soft tissues around your central nervous system to relieve pain, restore motion, and improve your overall well-being.

What is CranioSacral Therapy?

CST is a soothing technique that helps release tensions in your body, particularly those affecting your central nervous system. Using light touch, our trained therapists help restore your body's natural movement, enhancing your physical, mental, and emotional health.

How Can CST Help with Lower Back Pain?

Struggling with shoulder pain? Let's talk about dry needling! At Steve Kravitz Physical Therapy, we're excited to offer this innovative treatment for targeting those stubborn trigger points directly. Unlike acupuncture, dry needling goes straight to the source, providing relief where it's needed most.

With long filament needles, we pinpoint trigger points within key shoulder muscles like the anterior deltoid, infraspinatus, and subscapularis. When the needle penetrates these tight areas, muscles experience a slight convulsion known as the local twitch response (LTR), releasing built-up pressure and promoting healing.

Dry needling doesn't just alleviate pain – it addresses imbalances caused by strained muscles, helping your body return to its natural state of balance. Plus, by stimulating an anti-inflammatory response and improving blood circulation, it supports the return of vital nutrients to previously inflamed areas.

Ready to say goodbye to shoulder pain? Schedule your dry needling session today and take the first step toward lasting relief! https://stevekravitz.com/request-appointment/

Our team will conduct a thorough examination to tailor the treatment to your specific needs. We want to understand your pain history and current discomfort to provide the best possible care.

Unlock Your Body's Potential with Myofascial Release

Are you tired of living with tight, stiff muscles dictating your every move? Discover the transformative power of Myofascial Release at Steve Kravitz Physical Therapy!

What exactly is Myofascial Release? It's a gentle yet effective therapy that targets the connective tissue, or fascia, in your body. By utilizing gentle stretches, we can release abnormal tissue tensions, restoring motion and providing both acute and chronic pain relief.

Fascia is the powerhouse of your body, connecting every muscle, bone, nerve, and organ. When it's restricted, it can wreak havoc on your entire system, causing pain and limiting mobility. Myofascial Release works to smooth out these restrictions, enhancing nervous system function, improving circulation, and optimizing organ performance.

But why should you choose Myofascial Release over other treatments? Unlike temporary fixes like pain medications, our therapy addresses the root cause of your discomfort. Whether it's due to physical trauma, poor posture, or repetitive strain, we're here to help you break free from the cycle of pain.

Struggling with nerve pain? Let's talk about Nerve Mobilization!

Nerve Mobilization targets nerve compression with precise pressure, aiming to alleviate symptoms like pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness. It's a game-changer for issues like sciatica and other nerve-related concerns.

Understanding the source of pain is crucial. While self-care techniques and pain meds offer temporary relief, they don't address the root cause: tight spots in tissues. Nerve Mobilization directly targets these areas, restoring mobility and relieving pain.

With the guidance of trained professionals like ours, at Steve Kravitz Physical Therapy in Nashville you can experience long-term relief and improved function.

Don't let nerve pain hold you back. Consult with us today to craft a personalized treatment plan for a pain-free life. Reach out to schedule your consultation now! https://stevekravitz.com/request-appointment/
