Dry needling is a specialized therapy that uses thin, sterile needles to target muscle trigger points, alleviating pain and restoring function. Unlike acupuncture (which focuses on energy flow), dry needling addresses musculoskeletal issues directly, making it ideal for pain management and muscle rehabilitation.
Dry needling targets deep muscle tension and accelerates recovery where other methods fall short. It’s a game-changer for pain relief, mobility, and performance.
Reduce chronic pain from conditions like sciatica or migraines.
Improve flexibility in stiff joints or muscles for better movement.
Stimulate blood flow to injured areas for faster recovery.
Optimize performance for athletes at every level of training.
Tight, overactive muscle knots—called trigger points—are carefully identified through skilled assessment to address the exact source of pain and dysfunction, ensuring focused and effective treatment.
A fine, sterile needle is gently inserted into the muscle to reach deep trigger points that are often inaccessible by manual therapy, helping to disrupt pain signals and stimulate healing.
The targeted muscle may twitch or relax in response—a sign that the tension is releasing. This reflex helps reset the muscle and reduce tightness, often leading to immediate relief.
Once released, circulation improves in the treated area. Increased blood flow helps flush out toxins, reduce inflammation, and bring in nutrients to speed up the healing process.
As tightness fades and pain subsides, mobility and strength return. This allows for easier movement, improved posture, and better performance in daily activities or exercise.
Trusted hands, proven techniques, and personalized care — all working together to help you recover faster and move better.
Our licensed practitioners hold advanced certifications in dry needling and have 10+ years of experience treating complex musculoskeletal conditions.
Every treatment begins with a thorough assessment to tailor a plan to your unique needs, whether you’re recovering from surgery or training for a marathon.
Ultra-fine, sterile needles are gently placed into tight muscle spots to ease tension and reduce pain in 10–30 minutes.
We use single-use needles in a safe setting. Most people feel only a quick twitch or light pressure—nothing too intense.
Post-session, you’ll get easy advice like light stretching and hydration to support faster healing and keep you moving well.
From personalized assessment to expert treatment and post-care advice, each session is designed to help you feel better, move better, and heal faster—safely and effectively.
