Peak Physical Therapy & Sports Performance, a South Shore practice specializing in unique programs that provides comprehensive treatment in orthopedic, spine and sports medicine specialties, announces that Jeanine Jernegan PT has earned certification in dry needling therapy and will offer the service at the Scituate clinic.
Dry needling is a form of therapy in which fine needles are inserted into muscle knots, tendons, ligaments or near nerves to stimulate a healing response in painful musculoskeletal conditions such as shoulder impingement, tennis elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, headaches, plantar fasciitis or low back pain.
A resident of Kingston, Jernegan received her Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy from Northeastern University. She combines manual therapies with functional strengthening in order to meet her patient’s individual goals. Jernegan also sees patients needing Vestibular Rehabilitation as well as Post Concussion treatment and she provides aquatic therapy services for the Scituate clinic.
“Dry needling is a modern, science-based intervention for the treatment of pain,” said Eric Edelman, PT, owner of Peak Physical Therapy & Sports Performance. “We’re pleased to offer this specialty service in our Scituate Clinic, knowing that our present and future patients will benefit from this treatment option.”
