Dry Needling in Capitola & Scotts Valley, CA

The people on paddle boards

Dry Needling is a specific needling technique that is based on neuroanatomy and myofascial trigger point therapy that is used with thin filiform needles without the injection of a solution. Dry Needling consists of rapid, short-term needling to altered or dysfunctional tissues to improve or restore function. This may include (but is not limited to) the needling of the myofascial trigger points, periosteum, and connective tissues.

Myofascial Pain Treatment

Myofascial pain is often associated with trigger points that may present with a painful and fibrotic tight muscle band. In response to needling this trigger point, the patient may experience referred pain and/or a twitch response. There is strong scientific evidence in the effectiveness of using the trigger point needling techniques to treat musculoskeletal pain and neuromuscular dysfunction.

I can't thank Solis acupuncture staff enough.
Before acupuncture, I was struggling with severe neck and back pain. After a few sessions with Ava, Jessica,Taylar and Dr. Uzes there was an immediate relief.
Everyone at Solis is amazing and very caring.
Ava has a really gentle touch, she goes above and beyond. She is very knowledgeable, kind, honest and professional.
I highly recommend Solis acupuncture, everyone is very skilled and compassionate.
You will be in great hands.

Acupuncturists leave detailed notes for each other, so no matter who you get, you will get a great session. I have MdDS or Mal de Debarment Syndrome. When I came for sessions, I felt like an ocean buoy bobbing in the ocean and had a strong gravitational pull left. I was walking with a cain. I had major brain fog. Now after six sessions, I am not using the cane, feel like I am on a gentle raft, have less brain fog, and am able to exercise and live my life more normally again. I believe my acupuncture appointments have been a huge part of calming my aggravated nervous system. Thank you Solis!

I have loved coming to Solis. I see Jenny (Scotts Valley location) & 1000% recommend her for all women’s health, pregnancy & postpartum care. She is compassionate, knowledgeable & just a talented acupuncturist. She helped me through a very difficult pregnancy & postpartum (still at 9 months) experience. I’m so thankful I found Solis/Jenny!

Solis helped me gain strength and energy after my chemotherapy treatments. Jenny recommended vitamins and herbs as well as targeted Accupuncture and message that help with my recovery and allow me to sleep better.
I also received treatment after a broken arm and shoulder surgery. They are helping with mobility, scar reduction and pain relief. I notice an improvement each time I visit and feel the treatments are definitely worth my time and money.

I have consistently received excellent care at Solis Acupuncture. I was referred from my primary care doctor at Kaiser for ongoing pain from an injury, and acupuncturist Jessica Powell was able to knock it out after just a handful of visits. She is incredibly knowledgeable, intuitive, and caring. I highly recommend her expertise to anyone.

I also found the entire Solid team to be professional and caring, and the facilities are clean and welcoming.
