Alpha Sports Performance Medicine’s dry needling therapy targets the source of muscle tension with precision. Using sterile, hair-thin needles, our certified providers reach deep trigger points, which are the tight knots in muscle tissue that can limit movement and cause discomfort. By releasing these points, we help restore natural mobility and reduce the pain that interferes with training, recovery, and daily activity.
You may feel a twitch response or a brief ache during treatment: that’s a sign the muscle is releasing. Once that happens, blood flow can improve and healing can begin. Dry needling can help relieve chronic pain, improve range of motion, and break the cycle of inflammation that often lingers long after an injury or period of overuse.
For athletes, this therapy can be particularly effective in treating conditions such as hamstring strains, IT band tightness, neck stiffness, and shoulder restrictions. We often pair dry needling with movement retraining or manual therapy to reinforce results and help you return to full function. Whether you’re dealing with an old injury or trying to prevent new ones, dry needling helps reset the system so you can move freely again.
