Dry Needling in Jupiter
At Lighthouse Acupuncture & Wellness Center, we provide Dry Needling (DN), also called Trigger Point Therapy or Trigger Point Needling, to help patients overcome stubborn muscle pain and tension.
This modern technique targets tight “knots” within muscles, releasing trigger points that restrict movement, cause pain, and limit performance.
By restoring healthy muscle function, dry needling can improve mobility, reduce discomfort, and support long-term healing.
We are the best practitioners for Dry Needling in Palm Beach County due to our clinicians’ extensive training in Dry Needling and Orthopedic Acupuncture.
Your First Step: An Evaluation
Before beginning treatment, every patient meets with Dr. Lisa McCoog for a personalized evaluation. This helps us determine whether dry needling is the right fit for your condition.
If so, we’ll create a customized treatment plan that may include dry needling alone or in combination with other therapies such as acupuncture, ATP Resonance BioTherapy®, or Acupuncture Injection Therapy for comprehensive results.
What to Expect from Dry Needling?
Course of Treatment
Dry needling is recommended in structured courses of treatment designed for lasting results.
The exact number of sessions depends on your condition, how long symptoms have been present, and your overall health.
Most often, dry needling is integrated with complementary therapies—such as acupuncture, ATP Resonance BioTherapy®, or corrective exercise to maximize healing and accelerate recovery.
The Process
Patients typically begin with 2–4 sessions per week to address pain and restore muscle function.
As symptoms improve, treatments are gradually reduced to a maintenance schedule of 1–2 sessions per month, helping prevent flare-ups and maintain progress.
Lasting Relief
Our patients often see remarkable results, some reporting a complete absence of symptoms even in chronic pain cases that persisted for years.
This is why we are proud to be Palm Beach County’s leading alternative pain relief clinic.
Common Questions about Dry Needling
Who Can Benefit from Dry Needling?
Dry needling can help many people, from athletes with sore or overworked muscles to anyone dealing with chronic pain, stiffness, or tension headaches.
It’s also effective for recovering from injuries, easing muscle knots from stress or long hours at a desk, and improving flexibility for people who feel tight or restricted.
At Lighthouse Acupuncture & Wellness Center in Jupiter, we customize every treatment plan so you can move easier, feel better, and get back to doing the things you love.
If you wonder if Dry Needling is right for you- book a consultation and our doctor will determine if you are a candidate for care.
What Does the Treatment Feel Like?
Because the technique targets tight muscle bands, you may feel a quick twitch or brief cramp-like sensation as the muscle resets.
Most patients compare it to a deep tissue massage, intense at times, but releasing and therapeutic.
Afterward, muscles usually feel looser and more relaxed. Our providers will discuss with you how to best minimize any lingering discomfort.
When Will I Notice a Difference?
Relief can be immediate for some, while others notice changes gradually over several sessions.
Your age, overall health, and how long the issue has been present all play a role. During your consultation, we’ll set clear expectations and track progress as we move forward.
Does Insurance Cover Dry Needling?
Most insurance policies offer little to no meaningful coverage for dry needling. Because our priority is your results, Lighthouse Acupuncture & Wellness Center operates out-of-network, ensuring your care plan isn’t dictated by restrictions.
We provide a detailed receipt (called a superbill) you may submit for possible reimbursement.
The positive news? You remain in control of your wellness journey and compared to conventional interventions, dry needling at our Jupiter clinic is an affordable and effective option for lasting relief.
