Conditions /Dry Needling
At STL Pain & Physical Therapy Center, we offer Dry Needling as part of our advanced, evidence-based pain relief and rehabilitation services. This modern treatment technique targets myofascial trigger points—tight bands of muscle that cause pain, restrict motion, and lead to dysfunction.
Whether you’re recovering from an injury or living with chronic pain, dry needling offers fast, targeted relief—without medication or surgery.

Dry Needling involves the insertion of a thin, sterile filament needle directly into a tight or knotted muscle (also known as a “trigger point”). This causes the muscle to twitch, reset, and release, resulting in:
Reduced pain
Increased flexibility
Improved muscle function
Enhanced range of motion
Trigger points are sensitive areas of tight muscle fibers that can cause pain locally or refer it to other areas. When we insert a needle into these points, the muscle responds with an involuntary twitch. This “twitch response” disrupts the pain cycle, improves circulation, and stimulates healing.
