Trigger Point Dry Needling

Pain, whether in muscles, tendons or joints, can usually be traced back to a tight muscle. Maybe the pain came suddenly, or maybe it developed over time but just won’t go away.

Trigger point dry needling provides pain relief quickly, in just a few sessions by releasing the tension and knots that are causing the problem. If you are ready to feel better, this may be the solution you are looking for! Get gentle but effective trigger point dry needling by an expertly trained specialist.

For athletes and active people, trigger point dry needling is an important part of their self-care regimen. Many sports and workouts place a high demand on the body. To aid recovery from strenuous activity, treatment helps restore circulation and release muscles that may be causing pain.

Trigger point dry needling is useful for new injury, as well as chronic pain. I have seen a short course of dry needling relieve pain that has been present for years, even decades! Sometimes the body does not know how to let go. You may find that stretching and massage provide relief for a day or two but the pain keeps coming back. This is where trigger point dry needling really shines! Treatment for chronic pain can help the muscles find a new state of relaxation that will last.

I have been specially trained to provide dry needling that is as gentle as possible, without sacrificing results. Many people come to me having tried dry needling at other clinics in the past, but found those treatments too painful. I am happy to share that most people who try dry needling at my clinic are pleasantly surprised at the ease of their treatment — and with the relief they feel afterwards.

Because dry needling works so quickly, patients usually need only 3-6 treatments total. Then, if the pain flares up again later for some reason, we can usually do 1-2 follow-up treatments to get you back on track. 

If treatments do not work quickly, that is a valuable clue that you have some daily habit that is perpetuating your pain. I can help you discover what that may be and make changes so your treatments can last. For example, the position of your desk or keyboard, the way you hold your phone, or postural imbalance can cause pain. I will help you do the detective work so you can finally be pain free.
