Trigger Point Dry Needling in Cumming, GA

The Best Dry Needling Physical Therapy Service in Cumming, GA

 

We offer Trigger Point Dry Needling as part of our manual therapy techniques. This treatment uses fine needles to target trigger points—tight, sensitive areas in muscles and fascia that cause pain and inflammation. By precisely inserting needles into these spots, we help release tension, reduce pain, and improve muscle function quickly.

 

What is Dry Needling?

 

Dry Needling is not acupuncture. This technique is performed by licensed medical professionals, including physical therapists, to relieve pain and restore function. Thin needles are inserted into the skin to stimulate healing in the underlying muscles and nerves.

How is Dry Needling Performed?

We use thin, dry needles in this therapy—not for injections or medication, but for targeted treatment. The needles are so fine that most patients feel little to no discomfort during insertion. Before starting, we thoroughly assess your condition to determine the best approach. You may experience mild soreness or bruising afterward, but many patients notice greater relaxation and increased energy as a result.
