Targeted treatment to reduce muscle pain, release tension, and restore movement
Dry needling in Langley at Realign Chiro Physio & Rehab is an evidence based treatment used to reduce muscle tension, relieve pain, and restore normal movement. This evidence-based technique targets tight or irritated muscles to help improve mobility and support faster recovery.
Dry needling therapy is often integrated with physiotherapy rehabilitation and chiropractic care to address both the source of pain and long-term movement health.
We commonly treat patients all around Langley including Willowbrook, Willoughby, Brookswood, Walnut Grove, Clayton Heights and Cloverdale.
Dry needling is a treatment technique performed by trained practitioners using thin sterile needles inserted into tight muscle bands known as trigger points. These areas often develop after injury, repetitive strain, or prolonged postural stress.
Dry needling therapy helps release muscle tension, improve blood flow, and stimulate the body’s natural healing response. Unlike acupuncture, dry needling is based on modern musculoskeletal assessment and focuses specifically on muscle and movement dysfunction.
Dry needling therapy is conducted by our trained physiotherapists in Langley. Following an assessment the physiotherapist may recommend it for a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, including:
• Neck and shoulder tension
• Chronic back pain
• Sports injuries
• Muscle strains and overuse injuries
• Headaches related to muscle tension
• Hip and glute pain
• Tendon irritation
• Postural muscle tightness
During dry needling treatment, fine needles are inserted into targeted muscle trigger points to create a localized response. This response helps muscles relax, improves circulation, and reduces pain sensitivity.
Most treatments take only a few minutes per area and are adjusted to each patient’s comfort level. Many patients notice improved movement and reduced tension shortly after treatment. Some patients combine dry needling with shockwave therapy for chronic lower back or neck pain.

At Realign Chiro Physio & Rehab, dry needling in Langley is part of a comprehensive treatment approach focused on long-term recovery. Our practitioners assess your movement patterns, injury history, and goals before recommending treatment.
Dry needling is commonly combined with physiotherapy exercises, massage therapy and chiropractic treatment to help restore function while preventing recurring pain. This collaborative approach allows patients to recover safely and return to daily activities with confidence.
Your visit begins with an assessment to determine whether dry needling therapy is appropriate for your condition. Targeted muscles are then treated using sterile needles placed briefly into trigger points.
You may feel a small twitch response or mild soreness afterward, which is a normal part of the healing process. Most patients resume normal activities immediately following treatment.
Dry needling therapy may be helpful for individuals experiencing persistent muscle tension, injury-related pain, or limited mobility that has not fully improved with rest alone. Our team will determine whether dry needling is appropriate based on your assessment and recovery goals.
