Functional Dry Needling
When chronic pain, athletic injuries, pregnancy or repetitive stress cause your muscles to lock down into persistent, painful knots, manual therapy alone cannot always reach deep enough to provide lasting relief. Dry Needling is a highly effective, evidence-based clinical procedure designed to target deep muscular tightness, silence chronic pain, and instantly restore restricted mobility.
Using thin, sterile filiform needles, this therapeutic technique penetrates deep into the core of your muscle tissue to release stubborn "trigger points." At our Excelsior practice, we integrate dry needling with your chiropractic care to provide an elite, multi-layered approach that heals your body from the structural foundation to the deepest muscle fibers.
01) New Patient Consultation & Functional Assessment
During your initial visit, you will spend dedicated, one-on-one time with the Doctor reviewing your health history, intake forms, current concerns, and active lifestyle goals. We will perform a comprehensive neuro-structural and biomechanical assessment to uncover the mechanical root cause of your pain, mobility restrictions, or performance blocks.
From there, we will walk you through our clinical findings, answer your questions, and design a personalized Chiropractic & Soft Tissue Care Plan tailored specifically to your body. To ensure you start finding relief immediately, you have the option to receive your first customized adjustment and therapy session on the very same day.

02) Clinical Education & Focused Treatment
During your second visit, the Doctor will review your customized treatment path and educate you on how your joints and muscles are interacting. We will equip you with targeted lifestyle strategies, ergonomic adjustments, and specific functional movement recommendations to complement your in-office treatments and protect your alignment.
Meaningful, structural change takes time—the body heals from the inside out. Establishing a consistent care rhythm allows us to continuously break down chronic muscle knots, stabilize your joints, and keep your nervous system firing optimally. This visit combines your clinical education with a full, un-rushed chiropractic adjustment and targeted muscle therapy (such as cupping or dry needling) to keep building on your foundation.

03) Progress Re-Evaluation & Maintenance Care
After completing your initial corrective care plan, we will perform a comprehensive structural re-evaluation to objectively measure your progress, functional mobility gains, and pain reduction. Because your care is never one-size-fits-all, your Doctor will guide you into the next logical phase of your wellness journey based on how your body has adapted.
For athletes and active adults, this often means transitioning into a proactive maintenance phase. These sessions are spaced further apart to lock in your structural alignment, flush away repetitive training fatigue, prevent future flare-ups, and ensure your body continues to perform at its absolute peak.
