Dry Needling
Relieve tension. Reset your system. Restore balance.
​Dry needling is a gentle, research-supported technique that uses thin, sterile needles to:
release muscle tension
calm overactive nerves
and
support your body's natural healing response
​
These tiny needles are inserted into specific points in the body—often called trigger points or areas of restriction—and can help:
​
reduce pain
improve movement
ease discomfort
​
This technique can be especially effective in:
improving blood flow to targeted areas
stimulating tissue repair
speeding up recovery
reducing inflammation​
​
At CE, dry needling is just one of the many ways we can support your healing journey. We've found it to be an incredibly effective part of care, helping our patients move freely, recover faster, and feel better sooner.​

FAQs
Is dry needling safe?
Yes! At CE, our providers are specially trained and certified in dry needling, and we’re proud to offer this evidence-based technique as part of your personalized care plan. We always use clean, sterile techniques and take every precaution to ensure the safest possible experience. Before any needling begins, we’ll walk you through what to expect, answer your questions, and make sure you're completely comfortable. Your safety, trust, and well-being are at the heart of everything we do.
How many dry needling sessions will I need?
It depends! Some people feel a difference after just one session, while others benefit most from a few visits. Your provider will monitor your progress and adjust your treatment plan based on what your body needs.
Does it hurt?
Dry needling shouldn’t be painful. The needles are extremely thin and flexible—they can bend easily—so you might feel a quick twitch or brief pressure, but it’s usually very tolerable. Many people find it relieving or even relaxing.
Will I feel sore after dry needling?
It’s possible to feel a little sore in the treated area—like you’ve had a workout—for a day or two. This is completely normal and part of your body’s healing response. Staying hydrated, gentle movement, and heat can help ease this.
