A precise tool for stubborn tissue. Trigger-point dry needling releases tight, overworked muscle to ease pain and restore quality movement — woven into your treatment plan, or booked on its own.
Some tight tissue won't release with stretching or rolling alone. Dry needling reaches it directly.
Using a thin, sterile filament needle, a Doctor of Physical Therapy targets trigger points — the tight, irritable bands within an overworked muscle. The needle prompts the tissue to release, which can reduce pain, restore range of motion, and improve how the muscle fires.
It also draws fresh blood flow into the area. That surge of circulation delivers oxygen and nutrients while flushing out waste — kick-starting the body's natural repair response and speeding up muscle and tendon healing.
For runners, that means calves, glutes, hips, and feet that have been locked up by repetitive load can let go — so you move better and hurt less. It pairs naturally with physical therapy as part of a treatment plan, but you're also welcome to book it on its own when you just need targeted relief.
To be clear: it's not acupuncture. It's a Western, evidence-informed technique grounded in anatomy and musculoskeletal science.
Your clinician identifies the trigger points and tight tissue driving your symptoms — and confirms dry needling is the right tool for you.
Thin, sterile needles are placed precisely into the target tissue. Most people feel a quick twitch response, then a release — it's brief and well-tolerated.
The muscle relaxes and fresh blood flow floods the area — delivering oxygen and nutrients that speed up muscle and tendon healing while pain eases. We often pair it with movement or manual work to lock in the gains.
As part of a plan, we fold it into your rehab and give you the mobility and strength work to keep the tissue healthy between sessions.
Calves, glutes, hips, or feet that feel locked up from training load and won't release with stretching or rolling.
