Dry Needling Therapy for Pain Relief in Greenpoint & Williamsburg

Natural Treatment to help you move better and feel better

If your muscles are always tight, your neck feels locked up, or you have persistent pain that just won’t go away, we’ve got you. At Bethel Acupuncture, we offer dry needling therapy to help you feel better, move easily, and get back to life without constant discomfort. Our clinic in Greenpoint welcomes patients from Williamsburg and beyond looking for real relief.

What exactly is Dry Needling?

Dry needling is a modern and effective way to release trigger points in your muscles that cause pain and stiffness. Using very thin needles, we target areas to help your body relax, reduce inflammation, and heal more naturally. Although it’s not instant relief, it helps to get to the root of the issue and treat it in a more effective way.

What Can Dry Needling Help With?

People who’ve tried everything from massage and physical therapy to pain meds and have had no success, it is exactly what you need. It’s especially helpful for:

Ongoing neck or shoulder pain
Lower back tightness or sciatica
Stubborn muscle knots and tension
Headaches and migraines
Strain injuries
Postural issues from sitting too long
Athletic recovery and performance

Our trigger point dry needling treats people dealing with neck and shoulder pain in Williamsburg and Greenpoint. If you are going through the same, dry needling could help.

What Happens During Treatment

Dry needling is a simple and effective way to ease muscle pain and tension. Here’s how it works:

Step 1: Understanding your pain

We start by talking to our client about what’s going on. It helps us to get to know where it hurts, what movements make it worse, and how long it’s been affecting you. Then we look for the muscle knots (trigger points) that could be causing it.

Step 2: Inserting the needle
After getting to the affected area, we prepare it for treatment. Then, a very thin, sterile needle is gently placed into the tight muscle. You might feel a small twitch, a quick pull, or just a bit of pressure.

Step 4: Muscle release
That twitch means the muscle is relaxing and letting go of tension. It helps to improve blood flow, reduce inflammation, and ease pain.

Step 5: Checking in with you
In the entire process, we make sure that you’re comfortable the whole time. Everybody responds a little differently, and we adjust as needed.

Step 6: Feeling the difference
Afterward, most people notice less tightness, easier movement, and less pain, sometimes within hours, sometimes the next day. For long-term pain, a few sessions may be needed.

Why People Choose Bethel Acupuncture for Dry Needling

Here’s why people in Williamsburg and Greenpoint trust us:

Real experience: With over 13 years of hands-on practice, Bethel Sabin combines dry needling, acupuncture, and other Chinese medicine modalities as needed to treat pain from all angles.

What to Expect After Treatment

After a dry needling session, it is very common to feel a little sore, the same as you do after an intense workout. It usually goes in one or two days. After that, most people feel lighter, more relaxed, and more active.

However, for long-term pain, we suggest more than one session of trigger point dry needling in Williamsburg to get the best results. Depending on your situation, we may suggest a few sessions to get the best results. The goal is lasting relief, not just a quick fix.
