Welcome to Chiropractic Specialists MN Chiropractic

 At Chiropractic Specialists, we offer dry needling therapy to help relieve muscular pain, restore mobility, and accelerate healing. This modern technique, performed by trained professionals, targets trigger points—tight bands of muscle that can refer pain and restrict movement.

Dry needling is a minimally invasive treatment that uses thin, sterile needles inserted directly into myofascial trigger points. Unlike acupuncture, which is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, dry needling is based on modern Western anatomy and neurophysiology. The goal is to release tension, reduce inflammation, and improve function

.

Dry needling is especially effective for conditions involving muscle tightness, pain, or overuse. Commonly treated issues include:

• Neck and shoulder tension
• Low back pain
• Headaches and migraines
• Sciatica
• Plantar fasciitis
• IT band syndrome
• Tennis and golfer’s elbow
• TMJ (jaw pain)
• Postural strain from desk work
• Sports injuries and muscle imbalances

• A thorough assessment to locate trigger points and tension patterns
• Insertion of very fine needles into the targeted muscle
• You may feel a twitch response or mild soreness—this is a normal and therapeutic sign
• Relief often starts within 24–48 hours, and multiple sessions may be recommended for chronic issues

At Chiropractic Specialists, our providers are certified in dry needling and integrate it as part of a comprehensive, individualized treatment plan. We combine clinical expertise with compassionate care to help you feel and function your best—faster.

“Patients often experience relief even when other treatments haven’t worked. It’s an incredible option for long-standing muscle tension and pain.”

If you’re struggling with persistent pain, muscle tightness, or limited range of motion, dry needling could be a game changer. It’s a safe, drug-free option that works well on its own or alongside chiropractic care, massage therapy, and exercise rehab.
