Assessment & Palpation: We identify the specific muscle or trigger point causing dysfunction.
Needle Insertion: Quick and precise. You may feel a twitch or deep ache — both normal.
Neuromuscular Reset: As the muscle relaxes, motion immediately improves.
Follow-Up Movement: Light mobility or corrective exercise to reinforce the change.
Most patients experience relief and improved motion during the visit.
Most people feel a quick, deep ache or brief muscle twitch — this is normal and often indicates we’ve targeted the right area. The sensation typically lasts only a few seconds, and muscles usually feel looser immediately afterward.
Relief can last anywhere from several hours to several days after the first session. As mobility improves and tension decreases, results tend to last longer. Consistency — paired with rehab exercises — produces the strongest outcomes.
No. Although both use similar needles, the intention and clinical reasoning are completely different. Dry needling targets dysfunctional muscle tissue to improve mobility and reduce pain, whereas acupuncture is based on traditional Eastern medicine principles.
Light activity is fine and can even help reinforce the treatment. You may feel sore for 12–24 hours, similar to a hard workout. High-intensity training is best saved for the next day.
Yes. When performed by a trained clinician, dry needling is very safe. We use sterile, single-use needles and follow strict clinical standards. Side effects are typically mild and temporary, such as soreness or light fatigue.
