Dry Needling

What is it and why should I try it?

Research has shown that dry needling can have a variety of effects on different levels:

Helps Calm a Sensitive Nervous System
Dry needling can help quiet this response and reduce pain sensitivity.
- Neurological Modulation: Dry needling can affect the nervous system locally, altering the transmission of pain signals from the muscle to the central nervous system.

Changes How Pain Is Processed
Dry needling doesn’t just work on tight muscles—it can influence how the brain interprets pain signals, helping turn the “volume” down.
- Modulate neurotransmitters in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord: Dry needling influences the activation of descending pain mechanisms through endogenous opioid, monoamine, and endocannabinoid systems. This modulation helps regulate pain perception and reduce hypersensitivity in chronic pain conditions.

Improves Muscle Control and Movement
By improving communication between the brain and muscles, patients often move more freely with less guarding and stiffness.
- Muscle Relaxation: By targeting tight bands of muscle tissue, dry needling can help relax the muscles, improve flexibility, and restore normal movement patterns.

Supports Longer-Lasting Results When Paired with Rehab
When combined with movement and strengthening, dry needling can help patients achieve more sustainable pain relief and function.

Dry needling is not acupuncture. Acupuncture is based on traditional Chinese medicine (is a totally separate degree, and can only be performed by Acupuncturists).

FAQ

DO I NEED A REFERRAL TO START?
No referral is needed. As a cash-pay practice, I treat the entire body without insurance restrictions. You’ll get 1-on-1 attention for the full appointment.

HOW ARE YOUR SERVICES DIFFERENT?
You get 40 minutes of 1-on-1 care every session, unlike traditional PT clinics where insurance limits time and frequency.

CAN I BILL MY INSURANCE?
I don’t accept insurance, but the cash-pay option can be more affordable, especially if your deductible hasn’t been met.

I provide receipts for HSA/FSA use and offer flexible payment options.

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT TO FEEL?
You’ll likely see and feel results immediately or within the first few days. Recovery depends on the type of injury, chronic pain, or preventative care, and we’ll work together to achieve your goals.
