Dry Needling at Limitless Sports Chiropractic – Frequently Asked Questions

Whether you're recovering from injury or looking to improve muscle function, dry needling is a highly effective treatment we offer at Limitless. Here's everything you need to know.

✅ What is dry needling?

Dry needling is a skilled technique where thin, sterile needles are inserted into trigger points (knots) in muscles to relieve pain, release tension, and restore function. It targets myofascial pain and is often used in sports chiropractic and physical therapy settings.

✅ How does dry needling work?

The needles stimulate trigger points and cause a twitch response, which helps “reset” the muscle. This can improve blood flow, reduce pain, and release muscle tension. The result is improved mobility, faster recovery, and reduced pain.

✅ What conditions can dry needling help with?

Dry needling is effective for a wide range of musculoskeletal issues, including:

Muscle tightness and trigger points
Chronic neck, back, and shoulder pain
Sciatica and hip dysfunction
Headaches and TMJ pain
Sports injuries and overuse syndromes

It’s especially helpful when combined with chiropractic care and rehab.

✅ Is dry needling the same as acupuncture?

No. While both use thin needles, dry needling is based on Western medicine and targets specific muscular and neurological dysfunctions. Acupuncture is rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine and focuses on energy meridians.

✅ Does dry needling hurt?

Most patients feel a quick twitch or cramp-like sensation followed by muscle relaxation. There may be mild soreness for 24–48 hours afterward, similar to post-workout soreness. The procedure is generally well-tolerated and often provides fast relief.

✅ How many sessions will I need?

The number of sessions varies based on your condition, severity, and goals. Some patients feel relief after just one treatment, while others benefit from multiple sessions as part of a comprehensive rehab plan.
