What dry needling is
I use a thin, solid needle to reach the tight, tender spots in a muscle. The needle prompts the muscle to let go of the tension it’s been holding to protect you, and that can mean less pain and a joint that moves through its full range again.
What it feels like
Most people feel a brief ache or a twitch as the muscle responds, followed by a sense of release. Soreness afterward is common and usually fades within a day or two. I’ll walk you through every step and you can stop at any time.
When I use it
Tension in your neck, back, hips, or shoulders that stretching and rest haven’t shifted
Pain that ends your training session early or keeps you from reaching full range
Tendon and overuse injuries where pain stops you from loading the tissue enough to recover
