DRY NEEDLING PHOENIX AZ
Restore Mobility and Relieve Pain with Expert Dry Needling Therapy in Phoenix
At Streamline Performance Physical Therapy, we offer dry needling in Phoenix AZ as an evidence-based technique to relieve muscle tightness, reduce chronic pain, and accelerate recovery from injuries. Whether you're an athlete struggling with lingering muscle soreness or someone dealing with chronic tension or limited mobility, dry needling therapy may offer the targeted relief you've been searching for.
What Is Dry Needling?
Dry needling is a modern physical therapy intervention designed to target myofascial trigger points—knotted areas within muscles that can cause local and referred pain, stiffness, and movement dysfunction. Unlike acupuncture, which is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine and energy meridians, dry needling is based on Western musculoskeletal science and neuromuscular physiology.
Using very fine, single-use needles, our physical therapists insert directly into the affected muscle tissue to elicit a local twitch response. This stimulates the body’s natural healing process, improving blood flow, reducing inflammation, and releasing muscle contractions that limit movement and cause pain.

How Dry Needling Works: The Science Behind the Relief
The goal of dry needling is to break the pain cycle by targeting the root of neuromuscular dysfunction. When a trigger point is needled, it causes a reflexive twitch in the muscle, which can:
-
Disrupt pain signals sent to the brain
-
Increase circulation to the affected area
-
Restore neuromuscular control and muscle firing patterns
-
Reduce mechanical stress on joints and tendons
-
Accelerate healing by stimulating tissue repair
Most patients report a reduction in pain and an improvement in mobility within one to two sessions. Some may experience mild soreness afterward—similar to a deep tissue massage—but this typically subsides within 24–48 hours.
