What Is Dry Needling?
Dry Needling is an evidence-based treatment performed by specially trained physical therapists to release myofascial trigger points—commonly known as muscle knots. Using a thin, sterile needle, we stimulate tight or irritated muscles to reduce pain, improve circulation, restore normal muscle function, and promote the body's natural healing process.
Whether your pain is caused by a sports injury, repetitive strain, poor posture, or a motor vehicle accident, every treatment is tailored to your specific condition and recovery goals.
Our Clinical Approach to Dry Needling
Every treatment begins with a comprehensive movement assessment to identify the muscles contributing to your pain, not just the area where you feel discomfort. Your physical therapist evaluates posture, movement patterns, muscle tension, and joint mobility to determine whether Dry Needling is the right treatment for your condition.
Targeting the Source of Your Pain
When appropriate, Dry Needling is integrated into your overall rehabilitation plan alongside therapeutic exercise, manual therapy, stretching, and movement retraining. This combination helps release trigger points, restore healthy muscle function, and deliver longer-lasting results than treating symptoms alone.
