Targeting pain and dysfunction at the source—one muscle trigger point at a time.
At Ageless Athlete, dry needling is more than just a trendy treatment—it’s a powerful tool backed by science and clinical expertise. By inserting fine, sterile needles directly into muscular trigger points, we help release tension, restore movement, and reduce pain. When integrated with exercise and manual therapy, dry needling accelerates recovery and enhances performance.
Dry needling involves the insertion of thin filiform needles into dysfunctional muscle tissue—specifically, trigger points or knots. Unlike acupuncture, which follows traditional Chinese medicine meridians, dry needling is rooted in modern anatomy and neuroscience.
When a needle stimulates a trigger point, it causes a “twitch response,” releasing tension, increasing blood flow, and normalizing muscle activity. This helps break the cycle of pain and dysfunction that keeps people stuck.
Chronic pain, stiffness, or restricted movement often comes from muscles that aren’t working the way they should. Dry needling directly addresses these problem areas, allowing the body to reset, heal, and move more freely.
It’s especially effective when other treatments plateau or when patients need faster relief to continue training, working, or living without limitation.
Dry needling is an excellent option for:
Athletes with muscle tightness, strains, or overuse injuries
People struggling with chronic back, neck, or shoulder pain
Patients with tension headaches or jaw pain (TMJ)
Post-surgical rehab patients dealing with scar tissue or stiffness
Anyone who needs fast, effective relief to stay active
Not all dry needling is created equal. At Ageless Athlete, we combine advanced clinical knowledge with years of hands-on experience to ensure every needle serves a purpose. Dr. Adam Huynh has completed extensive residency training and brings a deep understanding of orthopaedic conditions, ensuring dry needling is used safely and effectively within a broader treatment plan.
We don’t just “poke and hope.” Every session is intentional, integrated, and aligned with your goals. Whether it’s reducing stubborn tension, restoring lost mobility, or keeping you competition-ready, dry needling is one of the many tools we use to help you thrive.
