At Orthopedic Rehab Specialists, we work to restore function, improve mobility, relieve pain, and prevent further injury through education. Our main focus is the rehabilitation of musculoskeletal disorders, and we treat patients of all ages, from busy tradespeople to weekend runners. One of the fastest-growing services we offer is dry needling. A licensed physical therapist uses a fine filiform needle to reach trigger points deep in muscle, fascia, and tendon. The needle creates a healing response in the affected tissue. Dry needling can ease pain, boost blood flow, improve range of motion, and even reduce reliance on pain medication.
Sterling, Illinois is a hardworking city of nearly 15,000 people on the banks of the Rock River in Whiteside County. Together with its neighbor Rock Falls, it forms the area known as the Twin Cities. History runs deep here. The Dillon Home Museum, an 1858 Italianate mansion, still holds the original furnishings of the family behind Northwestern Steel and Wire. Sinnissippi Park, the largest park in the Sterling Park District, sits on a bluff above the river and protects burial mounds built by the Hopewell culture about 2,000 years ago. Walkers and cyclists cross the Sinnissippi Dam walkway to reach more than 100 miles of trail along the Hennepin Canal.
We are proud to be servicing the Sterling area and beyond. We use a team approach to care, conferring with our in-house specialists to build a complete treatment plan, even in difficult cases. That same teamwork shapes every dry needling session. Your therapist will assess your movement, find the trigger points that hold you back, and decide if dry needling belongs in your plan. Stubborn aches, old injuries, and post-surgical stiffness all respond well. If you are near Sterling, Illinois, and tired of hurting, we are ready to help.
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.
