Dry needling in Grimes

certified Dry needling specialist

Muscle tightness, trigger points, or deep aches holding you back? At Resilience Physical Therapy, dry needling is one of the advanced tools we use to treat pain and tension right at its source. It’s precise, effective, and part of a personalized plan designed to get you moving and feeling better—fast.

Your Care Starts with a Full Evaluation

Before dry needling begins, you’ll receive a full physical therapy assessment. We’ll take a close look at your posture, movement, strength, and overall function to understand what’s really going on. This ensures that dry needling is the right fit and helps us build a safe, effective treatment strategy around your specific needs.

What Is Dry Needling?

Dry needling is a technique that involves placing very thin, sterile needles into tight, overactive muscles—specifically into what are called trigger points. These are small knots that can refer pain, limit movement, and cause discomfort both locally and in other areas of the body.

By targeting these trigger points, dry needling helps reduce muscle tension, improve circulation, calm irritated nerves, and encourage natural healing—all without medication or invasive procedures.

conditions we treat with dry needling

Dry needling can be highly effective for a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, including:
