Target Pain Directly at the Source–Not Just the Surface
Dealing with tight muscles, lingering soreness, or that deep ache that just won’t go away? Dry needling is a quick, effective way to reduce pain, improve mobility, and help your body heal. At Fleming Physical Therapy, it’s one of the many tools we use to get you back to feeling like yourself again.
What is Dry Needling?
Dry needling is a modern treatment technique where a thin, sterile needle is inserted into trigger points (tight or knotted muscle tissue) to release tension and reduce pain. It’s not acupuncture—though the tools are similar, the goals are different. Dry needling is based on musculoskeletal science and is used to target specific dysfunction in your muscles.
What Does Dry Needling Help With?
Every session is 1-on-1 with a Doctor of Physical Therapy. You’ll get a personalized plan that focuses on:
Muscle tightness and knots
Chronic tension and trigger points
Headaches and jaw pain (TMJ)
Sciatica and nerve-related pain
Sports injuries and overuse
Neck, back, hip, and shoulder pain
Many patients feel relief in just a few sessions, especially when dry needling is combined with hands-on therapy and personalized movement work.
Does Dry Needling Hurt?
Most people describe the sensation as a quick twitch or mild cramping—it’s over fast and often followed by a deep sense of release. Some post-treatment soreness is normal (like after a workout), but it fades quickly.
