Dry Needling in Council Bluffs

Tired of living with chronic muscle tightness, nagging pain, or mobility issues that just won’t go away? If past treatments have failed, dry needling at Flex Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine
in Council Bluffs could be the breakthrough you need. This advanced therapy eliminates stubborn muscle knots, resets pain pathways, and accelerates healing—getting you back to pain-free movement faster.

Why Dry Needling Works When Other Treatments Don’t

Most pain treatments only mask symptoms—they don’t fix the problem. Dry needling directly targets the root cause by:

  • Releasing deep muscle knots & trigger points that cause chronic pain.
  • Restoring normal muscle function by correcting imbalances.
  • Improving circulation & reducing inflammation for faster healing.
  • Resetting pain signals so your body stops overreacting to discomfort.

At Flex Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine
in Council Bluffs, we combine dry needling with hands-on therapy and corrective exercises to ensure long-lasting results.

FAQs About Dry Needling

What’s the difference between dry needling and acupuncture?

Acupuncture is based on traditional Chinese medicine and focuses on energy flow. Dry needling is backed by modern anatomy and neuroscience, targeting muscle pain and dysfunction for faster, measurable relief.

Does dry needling hurt?

Most patients feel a brief muscle twitch or mild soreness, similar to post-workout fatigue. Any discomfort typically resolves within 24 hours. Our specialists adjust techniques to ensure your comfort.

How many sessions will I need?

Relief can often be felt after the first session, but a full treatment plan depends on your condition. We create a customized plan to achieve long-term results.

Why should I try dry needling?

If stretching, medication, or traditional therapy hasn’t worked, dry needling could be the missing piece to your recovery. It targets pain at the source for long-lasting relief.
