Dry Needle Therapy

Target & Relieve Muscle Pain with Dry Needling Therapy

A highly effective technique that releases muscle knots, reduces pain, and restores mobility using precise needle stimulation.

What is Dry Needling?

Dry needling is a specialized treatment that uses thin, sterile needles to target myofascial trigger points—commonly known as muscle knots. Unlike acupuncture, which is based on traditional Chinese medicine, dry needling focuses on releasing muscle tightness and improving movement.

How Does Dry Needling Work?

By inserting fine needles directly into trigger points, dry needling stimulates blood flow, reduces inflammation, and helps relax tight muscles. This technique is particularly effective for treating musculoskeletal pain and sports-related injuries.

Who Can Benefit from Dry Needling?

  • Athletes dealing with sports injuries
  • Individuals suffering from chronic muscle pain
  • People with tension headaches or migraines
  • Those recovering from postural issues or repetitive strain injuries

"Dr. Jackie has been great to work with over the last few months. She’s fixed my running form. Taught me the proper way to lift and that stretching doesn’t have to be painful. The space is ever changing for the better and turning into a cool little community. I know if I pick up another running injury that I’m going right back."

"I’m in my 50’s and have been trying to regain my strength after injury and surgery for breast cancer. I had been struggling for years with back pain and shoulder pain every time I tried to start working out again. Erica quickly identified the sources of my pain, taught me proper posture and stretches for working out, and got me back to a place where I can work out on my own again. I highly recommend them"
