Dry Needling & Trigger Point Acupuncture,
Restorative Sports Medicine in Rockville
Precision Care for Sports Injuries, Muscle Pain,
and Chronic Tightness
At Anchor Point Acupuncture, dry needling and trigger point acupuncture are delivered as part of a restorative sports medicine approach focused on addressing the root cause of pain and movement restriction, not just the symptom. Care integrates dry needling–style intramuscular techniques, myofascial release, and nervous system–guided acupuncture to support recovery, circulation, and long-term function. This approach is designed for patients who want lasting results, not temporary relief.

Why Dry Needling at Anchor Point Is Different
At Anchor Point Acupuncture, dry needling is part of a restorative sports medicine approach that considers:
-
why the injury occurred
-
why the muscle is guarding
-
how surrounding tissues are compensating
-
whether the nervous system is perpetuating pain
This is why patients come to us when:
-
short dry needling sessions didn’t hold
-
pain keeps returning
-
they want fewer, more effective visits
Even our 30-minute sessions are guided by whole-body clinical reasoning.
What We Actually Do
Dry needling at Anchor Point may include:
-
Trigger point acupuncture
-
Intramuscular needling
-
Myofascial release
-
Neuromuscular regulation
These techniques are intentionally integrated within each session, rather than performed in isolation. This allows
treatment to be focused, efficient, and comprehensive, so no time is wasted and recovery is better supported.
Even within a 30-minute session, care is guided by whole-body clinical reasoning—addressing not only the area of
discomfort, but the patterns contributing to it. When incorporated into a personalized treatment plan, this approach
supports meaningful relief, improved function, and more durable results.
Why Patients Choose Anchor Point
Many clinics focus on where pain is felt.
We focus on why it’s there.
At Anchor Point, each session is guided by:
-
movement and compensation patterns
-
fascial restriction
-
neuromuscular signaling
This is why patients often come to us after:
-
short dry needling sessions that didn’t hold
-
pain that returns weeks later
-
plateauing with localized care
Our goal is not repetitive treatment — it is meaningful change.
Why Timing Matters
Pain patterns tend to reinforce themselves over time.
Addressing them earlier often leads to faster improvement and fewer visits overall.
Waiting often means:
-
deeper compensation
-
more persistent restriction
-
longer recovery timelines
Appointments are available this week.
Can I be seen today or this week?
We make every effort to accommodate same-day or same-week appointments when pain or injury requires timely care.
