Hip pain can make it hard to sit, stand, walk, or enjoy the things you love. Many people don’t realize that tight muscles deep in the hips can press on nerves and joints, leading to long-lasting pain or stiffness. That’s where dry needling comes in. At Acupuncture Atelier, we offer a natural and targeted way to help you feel better without medicine or surgery.

What Is Dry Needling?

Dry needling is a therapy where licensed practitioners use very thin, sterile needles to gently treat tight, sore muscles. These muscles often form “trigger points,” which are knots that can happen when a muscle is overused, stressed, or injured. Trigger points can cause pain right where they are or send pain to other parts of the body. The goal of dry needling is to relax these muscles, improve blood flow, and help your body move better.

Dry needling is often used as part of a natural approach to pain relief. Many people choose dry needling for pain management because it targets the root of the discomfort without needing medication or surgery. It’s especially helpful for people with ongoing muscle pain, tightness, or injuries that don’t heal quickly. At Acupuncture Atelier, we use dry needling to support healing, boost comfort, and help you get back to doing what you love.

Common Causes of Hip Pain We Treat

Dry needling at Acupuncture Atelier can help with many kinds of hip pain, including:

• muscle tightness from sitting too much
• overuse from sports or workouts
• nerve irritation in the lower back or hip
• discomfort from walking, standing, or lifting
• pain from past injuries or surgeries

How Dry Needling Works for Hip Pain

Dry needling helps hip pain in several ways by targeting the deep muscles around your hips, lower back, and legs.

Releases Tight Muscle Knots
Trigger points can pull on your hip joint and make movement painful. Dry needling helps these muscles relax so you feel less pressure and more comfort.

Reduces Inflammation and Stiffness
The tiny needle causes your body to send healing blood flow to the sore area. This helps lower swelling and allows your hip to move more freely.

Eases Nerve Compression
If tight muscles press on nearby nerves, you might feel pain in your hip or even down your leg. Dry needling helps take the pressure off, easing nerve pain.

Improves Balance and Movement
Many clients notice better posture, walking, and sitting comfort after just a few sessions. Dry needling helps support your body’s natural alignment and strength.

What Happens at Your First Visit?

At Acupuncture Atelier, your comfort and care come first. During your first visit, we’ll:

• talk about your symptoms, lifestyle, and goals
• gently feel for tight spots in your hip and surrounding areas
• choose a treatment plan based on your body’s needs
• use sterile, single-use needles to treat key trigger points
• let you relax in a calming room while your body resets

You may feel a small twitch or pressure when a needle goes into a tight muscle. Most people describe the feeling as quick and gentle. After your session, your hip may feel looser and lighter.

Is Dry Needling Right for You?

Dry needling is a natural option for many people with hip pain. It works well for those who want to avoid surgery or reduce their use of pain medications. It can also be a great addition to physical therapy or after exercise. At Acupuncture Atelier, our experienced team of dry needling therapists will help decide if the treatment fits your wellness plan.
