What Is Dry Needling? (Trigger Point Therapy Explained)

Dry needling is a specialized technique used by our physical therapists to treat muscle pain, stiffness, and movement problems caused by trigger points (“knots”).

Key facts:

  • Involves inserting a thin, sterile needle into painful or tight muscles (no medication is injected).
  • Triggers a local twitch response that helps release muscle tension, reduce inflammation, and activate healing.
  • Supported by modern neuroscience and musculoskeletal research—not traditional Chinese medicine.

Benefits of Dry Needling Therapy

  • Rapid pain relief for muscle knots, spasms, and tension
  • Restores normal muscle length, tone, and flexibility
  • Improves range of motion and functional movement
  • Enhances effectiveness of physical therapy rehab programs
  • Accelerates recovery for athletes and active individuals

“Sara and her staff are excellent!  I have been treated for migraine prevention at Jointworx using both physical therapy and dry needling, both of which are extremely helpful.  I also did my PT here following a very extensive leg injury.  The therapists at Jointworx helped get me to a healthy place.  They are very knowledgeable and truly care about their patients.”
