Dry Needling

Dry needling is a targeted technique that uses fine, sterile needles to release myofascial trigger points.

Benefits include:

  • Decreased muscle tension and spasm

  • Improved blood flow and tissue healing

  • Enhanced mobility and pain reduction

  • Reduced central sensitization in chronic pain

  • Immediate relief followed by improved movement strategies

Some muscles and injuries respond especially well to dry needling—for example, dry needling the upper trapezius can relieve headaches, shoulder tension, and stress, while needling the gluteal muscles can be highly effective for sciatica and referred pain.

Evidence-Based Approach:
 Research supports dry needling as an effective tool for reducing musculoskeletal pain, improving range of motion, and speeding up recovery when integrated with exercise-based therapy.

Our Personal Approach:
 We use dry needling at FayCo Sport & Spine to complement your active treatment plan—not as a standalone fix but as part of a system that helps you move better and feel stronger.
