Dry Needling Therapy: Supporting Muscle Function and Recovery

Dry Needling Therapy at Rebound Integrative Sports and Health Clinics is a specialized technique used to treat muscular tension, help with movement restrictions, and support musculoskeletal function. Similar in approach to acupuncture but based in Western principles, dry needling targets specific muscle trigger points using fine, sterile needles.

These targeted insertions aim to release tight muscle bands, encourage blood flow, and stimulate the body’s natural recovery process. The result is often a noticeable improvement in muscle responsiveness and flexibility.

Clients may receive dry needling to help with:

• Muscle tightness or soreness
• Limited range of motion
• Joint stiffness from overuse
• General discomfort after training or physical activity
• Localized tension in the neck, shoulders, or lower back

During a typical session, your provider will assess movement and muscle tone before applying the technique to specific trigger points. A twitch response is often elicited in the muscle — a sign that tension is being released.

Mild soreness may follow the session, but this usually resolves within a day or two. Dry needling is frequently used in conjunction with other manual therapies, stretching, and corrective exercises to support total body recovery and mobility.

At Rebound Clinics DMV, this therapy is part of a comprehensive care strategy designed to help you move freely and live actively.
