Dry Needling Therapy

At Body Works Women’s Health & Wellness, we offer dry needling as a powerful tool to support your healing—especially if you're dealing with pain that just won’t quit. This technique uses a very thin, sterile needle to reach tight, irritated muscles that may be contributing to discomfort, stiffness, or even pelvic floor tension.

Many of our patients—especially women navigating pregnancy, postpartum changes, or chronic muscle pain—find that dry needling offers the relief they’ve been searching for when stretching or massage hasn’t done the trick.

Why Consider Dry Needling?

Dry needling may be a helpful option if you're experiencing:

- Persistent muscle tension that doesn't respond to stretching or exercise

- Trigger points (“knots”) that cause referred pain

- Pelvic floor tightness that makes daily life uncomfortable

- Limited mobility that makes even simple tasks harder

- Pain that hasn’t improved with other treatments alone

What to Expect During Treatment

A very thin, sterile needle is gently inserted into the tight or overactive muscle. This may cause a quick “twitch” response or a brief, dull ache as the muscle relaxes and releases. While the sensation can feel unusual, most people describe it as tolerable—and many notice relief soon after the session.

Your therapist will walk you through each step, making sure you’re comfortable and understand what’s happening. Sessions are quick, highly targeted, and designed to help your muscles work the way they should.
