Dry Needling
Trigger point dry needling for muscle tension, myofascial pain, and movement restrictions. At Solas PT, dry needling is always paired with a focused clinical exam — I treat the actual source of dysfunction, not just the symptom. Effective for chronic pain, acute injuries, and athletes who need faster tissue recovery.
Manual Therapy
Skilled hands-on techniques including joint mobilization, soft tissue mobilization, and myofascial release to restore mobility and reduce pain. Dr. Cisneros uses a targeted, evidence-based approach to manual care refined over 12+ years of clinical practice treating orthopedic and sports injuries.
Cervicogenic Headache
Headaches that are generated in the neck rather than the head. A detailed cervical and upper-quarter examination reproduces the headache by loading the structure driving it — most often the sub-occipital muscles at the base of the skull. Treatment combines sustained sub-occipital release with C1–C2 mobilization, thoracic manipulation, and electrical dry needling, and relief frequently begins in the first session.
Neurodynamics
Neural tissue needs to slide and glide through surrounding structures to function properly — when it can't, the result is nerve pain, tingling, and movement limitations that conventional stretching doesn't resolve. I use neurodynamic assessment to identify where the restriction is and treat it precisely, addressing radiculopathy, sciatica, and peripheral nerve entrapment at the source.
Sports Rehabilitation
Sports rehab at Solas PT operates in a functional training environment — I have a background in strength and conditioning, so your program is built around actual athletic demands, not generic exercises. Sport-specific movement analysis, evidence-based loading progressions, and performance programming to bring you back stronger than before injury. CrossFit athletes, runners, and competitive athletes treated regularly.
Orthopedic Rehab
A proper orthopedic evaluation identifies what's actually generating your pain — joint, disc, muscle, or nerve — before any treatment is prescribed. I use a systematic assessment process to find the root cause, then treat it with hands-on manual therapy and a progressive exercise program. No aides. No shared sessions. One hour with Dr. Cisneros, every visit.
Post-Surgical Rehab
Surgical outcomes depend heavily on what happens after the OR. I work within your surgeon's protocol and adjust the program week to week based on how the tissue is actually responding. ACL reconstruction, rotator cuff repair, total joint replacement, spinal surgery, and other orthopedic procedures — every session one-on-one, every progression intentional.
Electrical Dry Needling (PENS)
Percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation pairs trigger-point dry needling with targeted electrical current to drive deeper neuromuscular change — stronger pain relief and faster recovery than standard dry needling alone. Solas PT is the only clinic in El Paso with a dedicated electrical dry needling program, used for chronic pain, sciatica, and athletic recovery.
BPC-157 Peptide Therapy
BPC-157 is a regenerative peptide studied for soft-tissue and tendon healing. When a stubborn injury isn't responding to manual therapy and progressive loading alone, I coordinate care with our sister clinic, Solas Health & Wellness — where Celeste Cisneros, FNP-BC prescribes and oversees peptide therapy. You get the rehab side from me, the prescribing and medical oversight from her, in a single comprehensive plan.
