The Hidden Power of Dry Needling

Dry needling isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about creating meaningful change in areas the hands alone cannot reach. By inserting ultra thin, sterile needles into precise trigger points, our physical therapists help muscles reset, heal, and move the way they were designed to.

This approach goes beyond short term relief. It restores normal muscle function, reduces tension at the source, and helps your body move more freely again.

You’ll feel the difference because it’s not just relief. It’s restoration.

Why It Works

Dry needling creates a small, controlled response inside the muscle tissue that helps disrupt pain patterns and restore normal function. This response improves local blood flow, reduces inflammation, and helps normalize how the muscle communicates with the nervous system.

Over time, this allows the body’s natural healing process to take over, making movement feel smoother and less restricted rather than guarded or painful.

What You Can Expect

Dry needling sessions are performed by licensed physical therapists who evaluate how your body moves before deciding where and how treatment is applied. Every session is customized based on your symptoms, movement limitations, and performance goals.

Targeted Muscle Reset

Each treatment begins with a detailed movement assessment to identify the true source of tension, restriction, or pain. Often the problem is not where symptoms are felt, but where movement has broken down.

By precisely inserting fine needles into specific trigger points, we help release muscle contractions, restore mobility, and improve range of motion. Many people notice changes during the session or shortly after.

Deeper Healing Response

You may feel a brief ache, twitch, or pressure as the muscle responds. This is a normal sign that the tissue is resetting and beginning to relax.

This controlled stimulus increases circulation, helps interrupt chronic pain cycles, and encourages the muscle to return to a healthier resting state.

Integrated Recovery Plan

At Next Level, dry needling is never a standalone solution. It’s one tool within a larger system designed to help you move better and stay pain free.

After treatment, we reinforce results with corrective exercises, strength training, and movement retraining so improvements don’t fade. Instead of chasing relief, you build lasting resilience and performance.

FOUNDATION

Pain is the result of a weakness in your foundation.

Regardless of location, severity, and age, recovery relies on 4 key foundations.

This is our “4 Pillars of Recovery.”

Failure to address each pillar leads to pain and poor results. Long-term pain relief only happens when each pillar is strengthened at the right time.

PILLAR 1:

STRUCTURE

Any structural damages that have potential to limit your physical ability to recover must be addressed first. By tackling these barriers first, we set the stage for real lasting progress, not just temporary relief.

PILLAR 2:

MINDSET

Your thoughts and beliefs are a major indicator of your body’s ability to recover. We must ensure that they are healthy, empowering, and most importantly, accurate.

PILLAR 3:

MOVEMENT

How you move at the most basic level is the building block of everything. In order to load your body with advanced movements, you must possess strength and control in your basic functional movement patterns.

PILLAR 4:

CAPACITY

Solid movement with strength and control is what leads to long-term pain relief. As your body builds capacity, you’ll feel stronger and more confident to get back to doing what you love.

“I was two weeks away from a serious back surgery… and within the first week at Next Level, I made enough progress to cancel it. The radiating pain stopped, I could sit again, and my world finally opened back up.”

Beverly J.

“I was living at a 9 out of 10 pain pretty consistently, and nothing ever got me out of pain permanently until I came to Next Level.”

Joanna C.

“Before Next Level, every time I felt pain, I would get scared… My only wish was to feel somewhat out of pain… and with Next Level, I achieved far more than that.”
