Are You Dealing with Persistent Muscle Pain or Movement Restrictions?

Dry needling could be the answer!

At Kellogg Movement Performance Therapy, we specialize in cash-pay physical therapy that puts your time, your goals, and your recovery first. One of our most effective tools? Dry needling — a proven method for reducing pain, improving movement, and speeding recovery.

What Is Dry Needling?

Dry needling is a technique where a licensed physical therapist uses a thin, sterile needle to release tension in tight muscles and “trigger points.” While it may look like acupuncture, it’s actually rooted in Western medicine and based on modern musculoskeletal science.

Dry needling is especially effective for people experiencing pain, stiffness, or poor movement due to overworked or injured muscles.

Benefits of Dry Needling

Whether you're an athlete, desk worker, or someone living with chronic pain, dry needling offers several key benefits:

✅ Immediate Pain Relief

It targets the root cause of muscle pain — often providing fast relief from:

Neck and back pain
Headaches and migraines
Shoulder tension
Sciatica
Plantar fasciitis
TMJ pain

✅ Improved Mobility

Dry needling helps restore normal joint movement and reduce tightness, allowing for smoother, pain-free motion.

✅ Faster Recovery

It boosts blood flow, reduces inflammation, and helps the body heal faster — ideal for sports injuries or post-surgery recovery.

✅ Athletic Performance

Athletes in Ashtabula and nearby areas are using dry needling to reduce soreness, improve muscle function, and recover faster between workouts.
