Dry Needling

Targeted Relief Through Expert Dry Needling

Dry Needling is a highly effective treatment used to relieve muscle tension, reduce pain, and improve mobility by targeting trigger points—tight, sensitive areas within muscle tissue that can cause discomfort or restrict movement. At Diversified Physical Therapy Specialists, our therapists use fine, sterile needles to gently stimulate these trigger points, prompting the body’s natural healing response and improving circulation in the affected area. This technique helps release knots, restore normal muscle function, and enhance overall movement patterns. While not the same as acupuncture, Dry Needling is based on modern anatomical and neurophysiological principles and is often used alongside other therapies to achieve optimal results. Each treatment is tailored to your comfort level and specific needs, providing focused relief for conditions such as chronic pain, muscle stiffness, and athletic injuries. This service is not covered by most insurance plans and is offered at a rate of $50 per body part.
