Myofascial Dry Needling
After an injury or repetitive trauma, muscle tissue is damaged and heals through inflammation, scar tissue formation, and muscular tension. This tension limits the function of the muscle and can also entrap the nerves leading to pain, knots, and weakness.
During dry needling, a small solid filament needle is inserted into the muscular knot or trigger point to disrupt the pain cycle by reducing chemical irritation, decreasing tightness, and improving flexibility.

Chiropractic Manipulation
Chiropractic Manipulation is a safe and effective manual therapy designed to restore mobility to the joints of the body. By normalizing the biomechanics and function of the joints, chiropractic manipulation decreases pain, increases the body’s healing potential, and promotes optimal performance.
Soft Tissue Treatment
The goal of soft tissue treatments are to decrease scar tissue, increase motion, and decrease pain and promote healing in the body’s muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia.
Dr. Jonathan Dunbar utilizes one of the most clinically proven techniques, Active Release Technique (ART), and is a Full Body Certified ART provider. When appropriate, he also implements Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization, as well as NIMMO trigger point therapy.
