Conditions Treated With Dry Needling

Dry Needling in Long Island for Muscle Pain and Mobility Issues
Dry needling is a highly effective technique used to release myofascial trigger points—tight, sensitive areas in muscles, tendons, and ligaments that contribute to pain, stiffness, and limited mobility. By targeting these trigger points, dry needling helps reduce musculoskeletal pain and improve joint range of motion following injury or overuse.

At our Long Island clinics in Sayville, East Setauket, Westhampton, and Smithtown, we offer expert dry needling services tailored to your condition. Although the name might sound intense, dry needling is a safe, evidence-based treatment that provides relief for many patients dealing with chronic pain and movement restrictions.
