Is this the same as acupuncture?

No. Trigger Point Dry Needling uses anatomical landmarks and neuromuscular principles, not traditional meridian systems.

Most clients feel only a brief twitch response, followed by a feeling of lightness and relief.

How many sessions will I need?

Many clients notice improvement after one or two sessions; chronic conditions may require a series for full resolution.

Can I combine this with other Twin Sun services?

Yes. Dry Needling pairs particularly well with Physical Therapy, FSM Therapy, and Massage to reinforce balance and long-term results.

Yes. It is performed by licensed healthcare professionals using sterile, single-use needles and strict safety protocols.

Trigger Point Dry Needling

Trigger Point Dry Needling at Twin Sun Healthcare is a targeted, evidence-based technique used to release muscular tension, deactivate myofascial trigger points, and normalize neuromuscular communication.

Schedule an Appointment

It involves the precise insertion of fine, sterile filaments into specific muscle fibers and fascia that contribute to pain, restricted movement, and dysfunction.

Unlike acupuncture, which follows meridian systems, Trigger Point Dry Needling is rooted in modern anatomy and neuroscience.
By addressing the localized “knots” that form in muscles after overuse, injury, or postural stress, the therapy restores blood flow, reduces pain, and reestablishes healthy movement patterns.

Benefits

• Rapid pain relief in the neck, shoulders, back, and hips
• Reduction of chronic muscular tension and spasm
• Improved flexibility and joint range of motion
• Deactivation of trigger points that refer pain to distant regions
• Enhanced muscle function and coordination
• Calming of the central nervous system and stress response

What Makes This Approach Different

At Twin Sun Healthcare, Trigger Point Dry Needling is performed by licensed clinicians trained in anatomy, neurophysiology, and integrative manual therapy.

We combine precise needling with manual release, Frequency-Specific Microcurrent, and movement retraining to ensure that the released muscle integrates into a new, functional pattern.

Each session begins with a movement and postural assessment to identify overactive or inhibited muscle chains.
After needling, gentle activation and guided breathing help re-pattern the nervous system for lasting relief.

This integrated approach transforms Dry Needling from a symptom-based intervention into a corrective and restorative process.

What to Expect

Thin, sterile needles are inserted into specific muscles associated with your pain or movement limitation.

You may feel a brief twitch or ache as the muscle releases, followed by a deep sense of relaxation and ease.

Soreness similar to post-exercise fatigue can occur for 24–48 hours, typically followed by improved mobility and comfort.

Sessions last approximately 30–45 minutes and may be combined with manual therapy, FSM, or corrective exercise to accelerate recovery and prevent recurrence.
