Orthopedic Rehab Specialists opened its doors in 1999, and we remain locally owned and operated with one mission: providing top-level skilled physical therapy in a fun and relaxed environment. Patients of all ages are welcome, from student athletes nursing a strained hamstring to working adults living with stubborn neck and low back pain. Both groups often ask us about dry needling. Dry needling is a skilled treatment performed by a physical therapist or a physical therapist assistant, who uses a fine filiform needle to pass through the skin and start a healing response in the affected tissue. Muscle, fascia, tendon, ligament, and joint capsule can all respond to that treatment.
Pecatonica is a village of roughly 2,100 residents in western Winnebago County, and it takes its name from the Pecatonica River that forms its northern border. The Winnebago County Fairgrounds sit on the west side of town and cover more than 108 acres, drawing crowds for the county fair, the Pec Thing market, and events all season long. Sumner Park sits right next door with ball diamonds, tennis courts, and a trailhead for the Pecatonica Prairie Path. The village was incorporated in 1869 and still keeps its small town rhythms, from school sports to a Memorial Day parade that ranks among the largest in Illinois.
Orthopedic Rehab Specialists services the Pecatonica area and beyond. We use a team approach to care, conferring with in-house specialists so every patient and physician gets a comprehensive plan, even in difficult cases. Dry needling fits neatly into that plan because it decreases pain at the source of muscular dysfunction, loosens tight muscles, and releases trigger points that limit movement. Patients also see a better range of motion and stronger blood flow to irritated tissue, which calms soreness and speeds recovery. If pain has kept you off the Prairie Path or out of the garden, dry needling may be the piece your recovery in Pecatonica has been missing.
We enjoy what we do here at Orthopedic Rehab Specialists, which is helping people get their lives back one day at a time. Please call (815) 227-1700 or click here to schedule a free screening.
