Dry needling in Norwalk

certified Dry needling specialist

If you’ve been dealing with stubborn muscle tightness or pain that just won’t let up, dry needling may be what your body needs. At Resilience Physical Therapy, we use this precise technique to help relax tight muscles, reduce pain, and restore healthy movement—so you can feel and move better, faster.

Every Treatment Begins with a Thoughtful Evaluation

Your care starts with a one-on-one evaluation. We take the time to understand your symptoms, assess how you move, and identify the root cause of your pain. From there, we’ll determine if dry needling is the right approach and how it fits into your personalized treatment plan.

What Is Dry Needling?

Dry needling involves inserting very thin, sterile needles into specific muscle trigger points—those tight, sensitive areas that can cause pain and limit your mobility.

This process helps relax the muscle, improve circulation, and activate your body’s natural healing response. The result? Less pain, less tension, and more freedom to move.

Unlike acupuncture, dry needling is based on modern anatomy and physical therapy principles. It’s a targeted, science-backed way to treat muscle dysfunction.

Conditions Dry Needling can Help

Dry needling can be especially helpful for:

• Chronic muscle pain or tightness

• Neck and back discomfort

• Shoulder, hip, and knee issues
