What is Dry Needling?
Dry Needling That Gets to the Point
Dry needling is a powerful tool I use to help reset tight, overworked muscles and reduce pain. It involves inserting a thin, sterile needle directly into trigger points — those knotted-up spots that cause pain or restrict movement. Unlike acupuncture, dry needling is based on modern anatomy and muscle function. It’s especially effective for athletes, active individuals, or anyone dealing with chronic tension, injuries, or movement restrictions. The goal is simple: release the tension and get your body moving and feeling better.
How Does it work?
What to Expect During a Dry Needling Session
During a session, I’ll place thin needles into tight or overactive areas of muscle — the spots that are holding tension and limiting how you move. This often triggers a quick muscle twitch, which helps release the knot and brings fresh blood flow to speed up healing. It also taps into your body’s natural recovery systems by reducing inflammation and releasing feel-good endorphins. I usually pair dry needling with hands-on work and movement-based rehab to maximize your results and help you bounce back stronger.

Why Dry Needling Works
If you're dealing with muscle tightness, nagging pain, or movement restrictions, dry needling can make a big difference. It's especially helpful for issues like myofascial pain, fibromyalgia, and sports injuries. By targeting trigger points and releasing tension, dry needling helps reduce pain, improve mobility, and get your muscles working the way they should. Many people feel immediate relief after a session — and with consistent care, it can also help prevent future injuries and keep your body moving at its best.
