Dry Needling Therapy

Target Trigger Points. Relieve Pain. Restore Movement.

Dry needling is an advanced treatment technique used to reduce muscle pain and improve movement. It involves inserting a thin, sterile needle into tight bands of muscle known as trigger points.

These trigger points can cause pain, stiffness, weakness, and limited mobility. By releasing them directly, dry needling helps restore proper muscle function and reduce irritation.

This is a drug-free treatment. Nothing is injected. The needle simply stimulates the muscle to reset abnormal tension patterns.

Dry needling is effective for a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, including:

• Chronic neck and back pain

• Shoulder pain and rotator cuff irritation

• Hip and glute tension

• Sciatica

• Tension headaches

• Tennis elbow

• Plantar fasciitis

• Sports-related muscle tightness

• Repetitive strain injuries

If muscle dysfunction is contributing to your pain, dry needling may be an appropriate option.

When a needle is inserted into a trigger point, it stimulates a local twitch response in the muscle. This response helps:

• Reduce muscle tightness

• Improve blood flow

• Decrease nerve irritation

• Restore normal muscle activation

The result is improved mobility and reduced pain.

Most patients describe the sensation as brief and tolerable. Some mild soreness afterward is normal and typically resolves within 24 to 48 hours.

No.

While both use thin needles, dry needling is based on modern musculoskeletal and neurological science. It targets specific muscle trigger points identified during your evaluation, not traditional acupuncture meridians.

Our focus is restoring movement and correcting mechanical dysfunction.

1. Targeted evaluation of tight or dysfunctional muscles

2. Precise needle placement in affected areas

3. Short treatment sessions, typically 10 to 20 minutes

4. Follow-up movement work or rehabilitation exercises

Dry needling is often combined with chiropractic adjustments and rehabilitation for optimal results.
