Dry Needling

Dry Needling in Ballantyne, Charlotte, NC

If you’re dealing with muscle pain, tightness, or trigger points, dry needling can help relieve tension and speed up healing. At Charlotte Chiropractic and Rehab, we use dry needling to target knots, reduce pain, and restore movement—helping you feel and function better.

What Is Dry Needling?

Dry needling is a technique where thin, sterile needles are inserted into tight or irritated muscles, also called trigger points. This helps:

• Release muscle tension

• Improve blood flow

• Reduce pain and stiffness

• Speed up recovery

It’s different from acupuncture, while acupuncture focuses on energy flow, dry needling is based on muscle and nerve function.

Who Can Benefit from Dry Needling?

Dry needling can help with:

• Muscle knots and trigger points

• Chronic pain conditions (like back or neck pain)

• Sports injuries and muscle strains

• Tension headaches and migraines

• Joint pain and stiffness

• Post-injury or post-surgery recovery

If you have tight, painful muscles that won’t loosen up, dry needling could be the solution.

What to Expect

During treatment, a trained specialist inserts very fine needles into specific areas of muscle tightness. Most patients feel a small twitch or mild ache—but relief often follows quickly. Sessions are short, and many people feel better within a few treatments.

Feel Better with Dry Needling

Muscle pain shouldn’t hold you back. If you’re struggling with tightness, pain, or limited movement, dry needling at Charlotte Chiropractic and Rehab can help.
