What is Dry Needling?
Dry needling is a precise acupuncture technique that targets tight muscles and trigger points. By releasing excess tension, it restores mobility and enhances neuromuscular activation — helping you move with greater strength, speed, and power.
What We Treat with Dry Needling
Back Pain & Sciatica
Dry needling acupuncture helps release tight spinal muscles and calm irritated nerves. By targeting both local trigger points and surrounding imbalances, we reduce pain, improve mobility, and support long-term spinal health.

Neck & Shoulder Pain
Neck and shoulder tightness often comes from overworked muscles and postural strain. Dry needling releases trigger points and restores mobility so you can focus at work, sleep more comfortably, and move freely.

TMJ & Jaw Pain
Clenching, grinding, and jaw pain are often linked to tight muscles in the jaw, neck, and shoulders. Dry needling helps release these muscles and reduce strain in surrounding areas, leading to less pressure, fewer headaches, and greater comfort.

Sports Injuries & Sprains
From hamstrings to rotator cuff strains, dry needling helps speed recovery by targeting muscle knots and reducing inflammation. We help you get back to training and competing with confidence.
Joint & Muscle Pain
Whether it’s hips, knees, or overworked muscles, dry needling reduces stiffness and restores movement — making daily activities easier and more comfortable.
Chronic Pain
Ongoing pain can make daily life harder. Dry needling releases tight muscles, restores mobility, and can ease pressure that sometimes irritates nerves.

Our Method
Our dry needling approach is designed to relieve pain, restore mobility, and support recovery — so you can get back to work, training, and daily life with confidence.
1. Direct Treatment
Precise needling of overactive or tight muscles to reduce pain, release knots, and restore normal function in the affected area.
2. Address Contributing Factors
We look beyond the painful area to identify muscle imbalances, postural strain, or movement patterns that may be contributing. Treating these underlying factors helps reduce recurrence and support longer-lasting relief.
3. Restore Function & Performance
By reducing tension and improving muscle activation, dry needling allows stronger muscle contractions, greater range of motion, and greater power output.
Don’t let pain limit your performance.
The LIC Acupuncture & Wellness Difference
Whole Person Approach
Muscle pain isn’t always just about the muscle. Stress, posture, movement patterns, and even recovery habits can all keep symptoms going. Our treatments address these factors together, which is why many patients find more complete relief — even when other therapies haven’t worked.
Personalized Treatments
Every patient’s condition is different. We tailor each dry needling session to your specific symptoms, health history, and goals. That means one-on-one attention and treatment plans designed around what you need, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Expert Care
Our licensed acupuncturists are highly trained in orthopedic and sports-focused dry needling techniques. Patients trust us because we combine clinical expertise with one-on-one care — a combination that makes a real difference in pain relief, function, and performance.
What to Expect
Consultation
You’ll meet one-on-one with a licensed acupuncturist to review your symptoms, health history, and goals. We’ll determine whether dry needling — or another service — is the best fit for your condition.
Your First Treatment
A targeted dry needling session focused on the muscles contributing to your pain or limitation. When appropriate, your practitioner may also incorporate supportive methods such as acupuncture, cupping, or soft-tissue techniques to enhance results.
Progress
Many patients notice improved mobility, reduced tightness, and less pain within the first few sessions. For chronic or complex conditions, results build gradually as your body adapts and function improves.
