release trigger points and ease deep muscle pain

IMS/Dry Needling is a precise technique using fine sterile needles to release tight muscles and calm nerves. This treatment aids in reducing muscle guarding, improving circulation, and easing conditions like neck and back pain. Ideal for sports injuries, headaches, and TMJ pain, it targets neuromuscular dysfunction, unlike traditional acupuncture. Sessions are conducted in a clean, private setting using medical-grade needles and other sanitary tools. Treatment combines needling with joint mobilization or mobility exercises for long-lasting relief. Wear loose clothing for comfort. Join us in enabling your path to pain relief and enhanced movement.

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all or “cookie-cutter” care. We work with you to create a plan that fits you based on your goals, lifestyle, and recovery needs.

Aftercare includes light mobility exercises and hydration guidance. For safety, needling avoids certain areas, with alternatives recommended if necessary. Experience the thorough care of dry needling. Book your appointment today to start your journey to relief.

Care Tips & Results Guide

Needles, done right, are surprisingly gentle and effective. It’s common to feel a deep, achy soreness for 24–48 hours, like after a new workout, with easier movement or less tension right away. Small bruises can appear, and you might feel tired. Severe pain, numbness, dizziness, chest symptoms, or worsening issues require prompt contact.

Keep moving gently and keep the area warm. Walk, do light mobility, and complete the specific exercises assigned. Use heat for ache; avoid icing unless directed. Hydrate well, limit alcohol, and avoid heavy lifting or vigorous workouts for 24 hours. Rest if sleepy. If soreness lasts beyond two days or escalates, reach out for guidance.
