Dry Needling, Laser Pain Therapy & Medication Management
Comprehensive functional pain management extending beyond injections — including dry needling, photobiomodulation laser therapy, and evidence-based oral, topical, and injection-based medication protocols.
A Complete Toolkit for Pain Management
Effective pain management rarely depends on a single tool. Dr. Grossman integrates dry needling, photobiomodulation therapy, and a full range of medication options into individualized treatment plans — ensuring that each patient's care is as targeted and multifaceted as their condition requires.
Dry Needling
- Fine monofilament needles inserted into myofascial trigger points
- Elicits local twitch response, releasing taut band hypertonicity
- Evidence-based for myofascial pain, cervicogenic headache, plantar fasciitis, rotator cuff-related shoulder pain
- Often combined with ultrasound-guided trigger point injections for optimal effect
- No injectable agents — purely mechanical and neurophysiologic
Laser Pain Therapy (Photobiomodulation)
- Class IV therapeutic laser delivers photons to target tissue at specific wavelengths (810–980 nm)
- Increases mitochondrial ATP production, reduces inflammatory cytokines, accelerates tissue repair
- Conditions: tendinopathy, nerve pain, post-injection recovery, wound healing support, osteoarthritis
- Non-invasive, painless, typically 5–15 minute sessions
- Can be combined with injection procedures on the same visit
