Relieve stubborn muscle pain, restore normal movement, and speed recovery with dry needling that's integrated into a complete treatment plan, not used as a standalone fix.
MORE THAN JUST PAIN RELIEF
Dry needling can quickly reduce muscle tension, calm irritated tissue, and improve movement, but lasting results come from how it’s used. At Next Level, dry needling is never a standalone service. It’s integrated into a complete plan designed to restore how your body moves.
By releasing overactive muscles and improving mobility, dry needling creates an opportunity for better movement. We immediately build on those changes with hands-on treatment, corrective exercise, and strength training so your progress lasts long after the needles are gone.
The goal isn’t temporary relief. It’s helping your body move the way it was designed to.
Dry needling works best when it’s part of a complete recovery strategy, not a standalone treatment.
Every needle is placed with purpose to target the muscles contributing to pain, stiffness, and restricted movement. Your treatment is based on your body, not a standard protocol.
Dry needling creates an opportunity for better movement, but lasting results come from combining it with hands-on care, corrective exercise, and strength training.
The goal isn't simply to reduce pain today. We restore normal movement, improve function, and help prevent the same problem from coming back.
Dry needling begins with a thorough evaluation to determine whether it’s the right tool for your symptoms. We identify the muscles contributing to pain, restricted movement, or compensation before deciding where treatment will have the greatest impact.
Once treatment begins, ultra-thin needles are used to target specific muscles and trigger points that may be limiting how your body moves. We immediately follow that change with movement, mobility work, or strengthening so your body learns to use its new range of motion.
The goal isn’t simply to release a tight muscle. It’s to restore better movement that lasts.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Know exactly what to expect from your first appointment and how dry needling fits into your personalized recovery plan.
We assess your pain, movement, muscle function, and medical history to determine whether dry needling is the right treatment for you.
We identify the muscles and trigger points contributing to your symptoms so treatment is focused where it will have the greatest impact.
Ultra-thin needles are placed into specific muscles to reduce tension, improve mobility, and restore normal muscle function.
We immediately reinforce those improvements with movement, stretching, or strengthening so your body learns to move better.
Your treatment plan continues beyond symptom relief, helping reduce future flare-ups while improving movement and function over time.
THE METHOD BEHIND YOUR RESULTS
Dry needling can create rapid changes in pain and movement, but those changes only last when they're reinforced. The Next Level System combines precise treatment, movement retraining, and progressive loading so every improvement becomes a lasting one.
Dry needling helps reduce muscle tension and improve mobility, creating the opportunity for better movement. It's the first step, not the final solution.
Once movement improves, we build on it with hands-on care, corrective exercise, and strength training so your body doesn't fall back into old patterns.
Every treatment is designed to reduce pain today while improving movement, resilience, and function so you continue progressing after each visit.
Dry needling can help reduce pain, restore mobility, and get you moving again—but lasting results come from the right plan. Schedule an evaluation and we'll determine whether dry needling is the right fit for you and build a treatment plan around your goals.

I’ve experienced low back pain for years and have tried everything from traditional physical therapy to taking a year off of exercise with no success. I was pretty close to hopeless that I would ever be able to train again when I decided to try Next Level, in what essentially amounted to a Hail Mary. Dr. Jose was able to get me from not being able to pick up my daughter from the floor or being able to sleep without pain, to almost a full return to the gym in about four months. I no longer have pain when I sleep, can play with my daughter on the floor, and can exercise intensely without having to spend the rest of the day lying on the couch. I am not fully recovered but my quality of life has improved tremendously over the last few months. Dr. Jose is the only physical therapist I’ve worked with who focused on my hips as opposed to just assigning me core exercises. He is extremely thorough in his assessment and makes sure you understand where you are each visit in regard to your progress and limitations. There was no pressure to use all my sessions quickly nor any pressure to purchase more sessions. Coming here is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made and was well worth the money. I wouldn’t hesitate at all to return if I ever needed physical therapy again.
This place is amazing!!! Dr. Erin is the best!
This place is amazing!! Especially Dr. Erin! I have had about 6 sessions with her so far and it has been game changing. Came in with back pain, completely eliminated after the first week. Would definitely recommend Erin!!
I have been looking for a place like this. There are a lot of physical therapy places that are absolutely bound to the book- to a fault. You come in saying it hurts when you play your sport or do your hobby and they tell you to stop doing it. Not here. Dr.Daniel took. great care to track and progress my care so I was more functional and more pain free every week. If you are an athlete, a worker or a scholar, this is the place to get yourself back into shape. They use the best techniques and modern methods to deliver the best care.
Working with the staff at Next Level physical therapy has been an amazing experience. Dr Elyse and Dr Erin have excellent PT skills. I started out in lots of discomfort and weakness in my muscles. Due to their expertise i have improved tenfold and i am back playing tennis and pickle ball. I wish i could go there forever••• because they built up my confidence and restored my abilities. I would highly recommend anyone that needs Physical Therapy should contact Next Level. I am 100% satisfied. All the staff there were friendly and engaging.
I honestly don't know how things would've turned out if I didn't find this place. The issues I had with my bicep tendons and my shoulders were so bad I had to giveup going to the gym and working at Amazon was nearly intolerable. I had cortisone shots, went to a muscle specialist, and an orthopedic surgeon. I was told my only option was surgery. With the recovery for that and no guarantee it would fix the problem. I decided to try this place, next level as my last resort. At first, I didn't think it was going to work. Nothing changed. Dr Erin tried many things until she found movements and exercises that worked. It's a slow process but thanks to her I'm able to work without feeling like I'm going to pass out from pain and I'm slowly getting back to the gym. All I can say is thank you for getting me back on the positive. I'm glad I found this place.
I came to Next Level because I'm someone who's played baseball all my life and wants to continue to perform in multiple athletic experiences especially given in a father of three boys. For the last two seasons straight I kept pulling my front right quad and it would not only take me out for the rest of the baseball season but from multiple event such as half marathon runs, training, and overall active moments with my kids. Right at the first session Dr. Devi discovered why this might be and after the first week of P.T. I immediately saw a difference. To the point I almost hit a personal half marathon time record during the "just run to finish" stage without a glitch! I move, push, pull, run and feel better since I started and it only gets better. I will be eternally grateful I participated in this with Dr. Devi and her team and can't wait to keep improving.
After seeing an ad for root cause analysis. I made an appointment with next level. I am glad I did, I worked with traditional therapists for shoulder pain and had poor results previously. I was fortunate to have my appointment with Dr. Dan. Dan took his time to understand my issues and listened to what I tried before with no results. His plan has been all inclusive working the area around the shoulder to regain strength and gave me back the confidence to exercise pain free. Even if I have a flare up, I now have the knowledge to get back on track faster than ever. Since it was a full body assessment Dr. Dan has also been able to help me with other areas, I had pain in. Overall, it has been a great experience. Dr Dan has helped make a significant impact on my ability to be athletic at 50. Thank you, Dr Dan!
I had a great experience at Next Level Physical Therapy. My PT, Dr. Joe was fantastic. He took time to listen to me, my concerns and to work with me on an a plan that was specific to my needs. Far beyond "traditional" PT, at Next Level you get individualized attention for the duration of your session. I have gotten better results at Next Level that I've gotten at all the the other PTs I have gone to combined. Highly recommend!
