Dry Needling

Targeted Pain Relief, Accelerated Healing


Are you searching for effective pain relief and improved muscle function? Dry needling, a safe and effective technique offered at S5 Elite Performance & Physical Therapy, can provide targeted relief for musculoskeletal pain and help you recover faster from injuries.

What is Dry Needling?

Dry needling is a skilled intervention that uses thin, sterile needles to penetrate the skin and stimulate underlying myofascial trigger points – those tight, irritable knots within muscles that can cause pain and restricted movement. Despite the name, dry needling does not involve injecting any medication. The insertion of the needles themselves helps to release muscle tension, reduce pain, and promote healing.

Benefits of Dry Needling:

  • Reduces pain: Dry needling can effectively decrease pain by releasing trigger points and reducing muscle tension.
  • Improves muscle function: By restoring normal muscle function, dry needling can improve range of motion, flexibility, and strength.
  • Accelerates healing: Dry needling can stimulate blood flow and promote healing in injured tissues.
  • Reduces inflammation: The insertion of needles can help reduce inflammation in muscles and surrounding tissues.
  • Improves athletic performance: By addressing muscle imbalances and improving muscle function, dry needling can enhance athletic performance.
