For two major reasons:

• Experience: We are one of the longest certified providers of dry needling in Tampa.

• Skills: We have dual advanced certifications in dry needling.

• We will identify tight or painful areas in your muscles or tendons and gently insert very thin needles into those specific points.

• The needles help the area relax, improve blood flow, and stimulate the release of endorphins — your body’s natural pain relievers.

• It also modulates your pain pathways reducing your dependency on pain medications or injections.

Dry needling can help with a wide range of muscle and movement-related issues, such as: 

• Muscle strains and stiffness

• Headaches and tension-related pain

• Tendon pain (like tennis elbow or Achilles tendinitis)

• Hip, knee, or leg pain

• Sciatica or nerve irritation

• Plantar fasciitis

• TMJ (jaw) discomfort

People from athletes to everyday people choose dry needling to improve how they feel and move.

We don’t recommend this procedure if you have the following:

• Bleeding disorders

• Active cancer

• Active infection

• Extreme phobia of needles (Note: many people who dislike injections are able to handle dry needles very well as these are virtually painless).

• You may feel a slight pinch as the needle is placed, it is not painful as anticipated.

• Most patients feel relief from the first session onwards.

• You may feel a slight pinch as the needle is placed, followed by muscle twitching — this is a good sign that the muscle is responding. 

• Mild soreness around the treated area for a day or two is normal.

• Its extremely well tolerated by most people.

• Dry needling is an extremely safe, minimally invasive option for many people.

• It’s performed with great caution to reduce any risk and ensure the best outcome.

• We use sterile, single use, Japanese needles of the highest quality
