At Alinea Performance, our Dry Needling treatments help reduce muscle pain, decrease tightness, and improve mobility—so you can get back to lifting, training, and moving without limitations.
Dry needling targets trigger points, tight bands of muscle, and irritated nerves that contribute to pain and dysfunction. By inserting a thin monofilament needle into these areas, we help reset muscle tone, improve blood flow, and decrease pain sensitivity.
When you choose Alinea Performance for dry needling, we always start with a full evaluation to ensure it’s the right and safest option for you.

In most cases, no. Most states allows for "Direct Access," meaning you can come directly to a physical therapist for an evaluation and treatment without seeing a doctor first. This gets you on the road to recovery faster. However, if you are using insurance there are some specific plans that do have requirements regarding signatures or referrals. If your insurance has specific requirements, we will let you know before your first visit. (Medicare does NOT require a referral to get started with therapy).
During your first visit, you'll undergo a comprehensive evaluation. We'll discuss your medical history, assess your current condition, and perform a physical examination. This helps us understand your specific needs and goals. Based on this information, we'll develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique situation. You'll also have the opportunity to ask any questions and discuss any concerns you might have about your treatment.
Yes. When appropriate, we use manual therapy techniques like joint mobilization, soft-tissue work, dry needling, and directional loading strategies. These help decrease pain quickly so you can move more easily and progress into strengthening.
In many cases, yes. Most pain improves with the right combination of movement correction, strength training, and hands-on care. We’ll also tell you honestly if imaging or a surgical consult is appropriate.
Yes. One of our main goals is education. You’ll understand exactly what is causing your pain, why it’s happening, and how to fix it. Knowing the root cause reduces fear and speeds up recovery.
If pain limits your workouts, daily activities, sleep, or quality of life—even slightly—PT is the right next step. A short evaluation can determine exactly what’s going on and what your fastest path forward looks like.
No. Although both use small needles, the intent and approach are different. Dry needling is based on modern neuromuscular and orthopedic principles—it targets specific trigger points, muscles, and movement dysfunctions to improve mobility and reduce pain.
Not always. Dry needling is an effective tool, but it’s never required. Your therapist will recommend it only if it directly benefits your condition. Many patients improve with exercise, manual therapy, and movement corrections alone.
Coverage varies by insurance plan. Some plans include dry needling under physical therapy benefits, while others consider it "investigational", therefore, it's an out-of-pocket service. We’ll verify your benefits for you and explain any costs upfront—no surprises. Even when not covered, dry needling can be added to your session for a small, transparent fee to accelerate your progress.
