OVERVIEW
ABOUT DRY NEEDLING
The Modern Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine of Surprise, AZ, addresses muscle areas that are tight and will not loosen up with rest and stretching. Those sensitive areas within the muscle, technically known as trigger points, can relay agony throughout the body and hinder movement in specific ways. The procedure of dry needling involves inserting a very fine, sterilized needle. The muscle contracts or jumps, and it releases. That release allows movement and eases strain. It’s generally accompanied by therapy exercise or stretching, so the benefits long persist. The aim is simple: decreased agony, free movement, and a body that does not tighten up.

What Are You Experiencing?
You don’t need to know the exact name of what’s going on and most people don’t. What matters is how it feels to you. Use the short form to tell us, even if it’s just “my back hurts when I wake up” or “it feels like a sharp pinch.” Once we see it, we’ll give you a call to talk things over and figure out some next steps together.
LOW HIGH
SEVERE PAIN
If the pain is so bad you can’t think straight, please stop here and call 911 or go to the hospital. Getting safe is the first step. When you’re ready afterward, we’ll be here to talk about longer-term help.
MODERATE PAIN / DISCOMFORT
This kind of pain might not knock you down, but it makes life harder than it should be. Maybe it’s a stabbing pain when you move a certain way, or maybe it’s a dull ache that just won’t quit. Write it down as best you can. That’s all we need to get started.
MINOR PAINS & ACHES
Little things add up, too. A stiff neck, sore knees, or that nagging twinge you keep brushing off all matter. Share what you’ve been noticing, and we’ll help you keep it from becoming something bigger.

Answering Your Questions
What issues can dry needling assist with?
Dry needling treats headaches, backaches, shoulder tightness, and athletic injuries. At Modern Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine of Surprise, AZ, it’s also used to treat tendons and chronic tightness that returns again and again.
How many treatments will I need?
It depends on the individual. Some patients recover within several sessions. Some need more visits in order to gain long-term results. At Modern Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine of Surprise, AZ, we make changes to plans as we progress.
What does dry needling feel like?
Patients report it differently. Some report feeling a sharp pinch or twinge, while others merely feel a dull ache momentarily. At Modern Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine of Surprise, AZ, soreness afterward is generally minimal and passes within one day.
Is dry needling safe?
Yes. At Modern Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine of Surprise, AZ, only authorized professionals conduct dry needling. Needles are single-use and are always sterile, and safety precautions are taken each and every time.
Can dry needling be incorporated into a larger strategy?
Definitely, at Modern Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine of Surprise, AZ, we tend to combine the process of dry needling with stretching, strengthening, or mobility work. That way, results tend to be longer-lasting, and the same issue does not recur.
