Dry Needling

Dry needling is an evidence-informed treatment designed to reduce pain, improve muscle function, and restore movement by targeting muscular trigger points and areas of tension.

Whether you're recovering from an injury, dealing with chronic pain, or experiencing muscle tightness that limits your performance, dry needling can help decrease pain while improving mobility and muscle activation.

At Precision Performance Lab, dry needling is never used as a stand-alone treatment. It is integrated into a comprehensive plan that combines movement assessment, chiropractic care, corrective exercise, and strength training to create lasting results.
