What Is Dry Needling?
Dry needling is a physical therapy treatment that uses “dry” needles, or ones without medication, to relieve musculoskeletal pain. We typically use dry needling in conjunction with other physical therapy treatments to promote a comprehensive recovery.
Trigger point dry needling targets myofascial trigger points, which are areas of tight muscle fibers throughout the body. They may result from overuse, poor form, or injury, and they typically feel sensitive or painful when pressure is applied.
Our dry needling services in Burnet County, can help with all of the following conditions:
- Muscle Pain
- Joint Pain

Frequently Asked Questions
Through our Burnet County trigger point needling services, we will use dry needles to stimulate the trigger points, restoring normal blood flow and releasing endorphins that alleviate pain. Our experienced specialists will expertly insert thin needles into the trigger points and leave them in for anywhere from 5sec to 5min, depending on symptoms and response.
During your soft tissue dry needling treatment, you may feel some discomfort when we are palpating to locate your trigger points, but communication with your physical therapist is constant, so there are no surprises. When we insert the needle, patients often don’t even feel it. When the needle contacts a trigger point, it can feel like a cramping or aching sensation, and sometimes the muscle does a quick twitching movement. By the time the needle is out, often any discomfort has calmed to baseline or better. We’ll discuss exactly what you can expect during your treatment before beginning.
Our dry needling services in Burnet County, may not be suitable for people who are too afraid of needles, are pregnant, have certain medical conditions, or are on certain medications. Each case is considered on an individual basis. If this is the case for you, we will discuss other physical therapy treatments that may better suit your needs.
