Muscle pain can take a toll on your day, whether it’s post-workout soreness, office-chair stiffness, or tension that just won’t budge. Dry needling offers a natural, hands-on approach that focuses directly on trigger points in the muscles. It is a drug-free way to reduce pain and improve mobility without relying on medication.
What Makes Dry Needling Different?
Dry needling involves inserting fine, sterile needles into tight or knotted muscles (called trigger points) to release tension and restore normal muscle function. While it may look similar to acupuncture, the techniques are completely different. Dry needling targets muscle tissue, not energy flow.
How It Works Inside the Muscle
The moment the needle reaches a trigger point, you might feel a twitch – this is just the muscle reacting to the release. The result? Better blood flow, less muscle tension, and nerve stimulation that supports healing from the inside out.
Who Might Benefit?
Dry needling may help with conditions like:
- Neck tension and headaches
- Lower back strain and sciatica
- Shoulder pain and impingement
- Elbow pain (tennis/golfer’s elbow)
- Heel and foot pain, like plantar fasciitis
It’s a practical option for active individuals, desk workers, or anyone managing chronic discomfort.
What You’ll Feel in a Session
We’ll start with a chat and a gentle assessment. During the session, you might feel a quick prick or a twitch sensation as the needle finds the right spot. The needles are sterile and single-use. They stay in for a few minutes and are then removed to check the muscle’s response.
Our team is trained in anatomy and precise technique. We take the time to assess your needs before starting any care. Sessions are brief, and we tailor the number of visits to your needs. A bit of post-session soreness is normal; you may want to skip the gym that day and allow your body to recover.
