Our approach
Muscles, nerves and the nervous system, treated together.
At Sunrise Physical Therapy in Spruce Grove, we offer advanced biomedical dry needling as part of individualized physiotherapy treatment plans.
Our approach considers the relationship between the muscular, neurological and autonomic nervous systems, particularly in patients experiencing persistent pain, muscle tension and movement dysfunction.
Pelvic floor dysfunction
Supporting the management of pelvic floor muscle tension, pelvic pain and associated musculoskeletal dysfunction.
Scar management
Addressing scar-related tissue restrictions, discomfort and mobility limitations following surgery or injury.
Autonomic nervous system dysregulation
Needling approaches explored as part of an individualized plan for symptoms associated with altered nervous system regulation.
Treatment may be considered for
Conditions we commonly see.
- Chronic neck and back pain
- Myofascial pain syndrome
- Fibromyalgia-related muscular pain
- Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction
- Pelvic floor muscle dysfunction and pelvic pain
- Whiplash-associated muscular pain
- Post-concussion cervical pain and headaches
- Postsurgical muscular pain and scar-related restrictions
Part of a complete plan
Needling is one tool, not the whole plan.
Biomedical dry needling may be used alongside therapeutic exercise, education, manual therapy and other evidence-informed rehabilitation approaches.
Our goal is to reduce pain, improve movement and support functional recovery through personalized physiotherapy care.
Please note: Dry needling is not a cure for autonomic nervous system disorders. Treatment suitability is determined following a comprehensive physiotherapy assessment.
Common questions
Before you book.
Who provides advanced needling?
Josephine Vishal, our physiotherapist, who has completed advanced needling training in pelvic floor dysfunction, scar management and autonomic nervous system dysregulation.
Is it the same as acupuncture?
No. Dry needling is based on anatomy and how muscles and nerves work, not traditional Chinese medicine.
Does it hurt?
You may feel a brief ache or muscle twitch. Any soreness afterwards usually settles within a day or two.
Is it covered by insurance?
Dry needling by a physiotherapist is usually billed as physiotherapy under extended health plans.
