What Makes Our Dry Needling Approach Different?
Dr. Mike doesn’t guess. He touches, identifies, and marks the exact area of pain—and that’s where the needles go. No guesswork. No unnecessary stimulation.
- No medication
- No electricity
- Just precise, specific care
The needles are left in place for about 10 minutes and removed. The procedure is quick and calming—and many patients report immediate relief and a better night’s sleep.
How Dry Needling Works
Increases blood circulation to the affected area
Improves strength and range of motion
Releases trapped nerves and muscular tension
Speeds up healing and reduces inflammation
Whether part of a larger treatment plan or used as a stand-alone therapy, dry needling can often resolve a specific issue in just a few visits.
Who Shouldn’t Get Dry Needling?
It’s safe for most patients—even during pregnancy. However, it may not be ideal for individuals with a fear of needles or those who can’t lie still for 20 minutes.
