Dry needling in Adel

certified Dry needling specialist

If you’re dealing with tight muscles, soreness, or limited mobility, dry needling could be a helpful solution. At Resilience Physical Therapy, we use this precise, evidence-based technique to ease discomfort, loosen stiff muscles, and help your body move the way it should.

start with a Full Evaluation

Before any treatment begins, we take the time to understand your body. Your initial visit includes a full evaluation—looking at how you move, where you hurt, and what might be causing the problem. This helps us decide if dry needling is the right choice for you and how it fits into your overall recovery plan.

What Is Dry Needling?

Dry needling uses a very thin, sterile needle to target tight, irritated areas in your muscles known as trigger points. These are often the source of persistent pain or restricted movement.

By stimulating these points, dry needling encourages the muscle to relax, increases blood flow, and supports your body’s natural healing process. Many patients notice relief and improved range of motion shortly after treatment.

This technique is based on modern anatomical science—it’s not acupuncture, even though similar tools are used.

what conditions can it help?

Dry needling can be used to treat a variety of pain and movement issues, including:

• Chronic muscle tightness

• Neck or back pain

• Headaches and tension-related migraines

• TMJ (jaw pain)

• Hip, shoulder, or knee discomfort

• Sports-related injuries

• Repetitive strain problems

• Postural imbalances

• Myofascial pain syndrome

It’s often paired with other treatments, such as manual therapy, exercise, and movement education, for lasting results.
