DRY NEEDLING

Why Use 
Dry Needling

Dry needling is a technique used to treat trigger point pain and myofascial pain. Other terms commonly used to describe dry needling, include Acupuncture, trigger point dry needling, and intramuscular manual therapy.

At South Slope Acupuncture & Wellness, we are the only practitioners in Asheville who have extensive training in both Dry Needling and Orthopedic Acupuncture. 

To determine whether you are a candidate for dry needling, you must have an initial consultation with one of our Dry Needling providers.

 

If you are determined to be a candidate, we can perform your first procedure on the same day.

As a professional athlete & artist, I cannot recommend Autum enough. Professional, kind & caring, extremely knowledgeable & passionate, clean & modern - all words I would use to describe Autum & this clinic. 5 star, 10/10 all around best.

I began treatments with Autum for a shoulder injury that had been causing me pain for years. Western medicine options were surgery or a cortisone injection which was not appealing. After my treatment program my shoulder feels great and has no pain issues even after resuming activities that would normally have caused irritation. Thanks Autum!

After beating my body in the military for over 20 years I had zero ideas of the cumulative damage that I had done. It took partially tearing both Achilles to get me to slow down long enough to let Autum figure it out. A year and a half later the Achilles are a huge improvement from the day I hobbled in, now we are addressing other issues that fell by the wayside. Not only does she treat the physical, but she has also treated the mental aspects and genuinely wants to fix the issues. I am grateful I took a chance and got her help!!
