Tennis elbow isn’t just for tennis players. It can happen to anyone who uses their arms and hands a lot. If your elbow feels sore, tight, or weak, dry needling can help ease the pain and bring relief. At Acupuncture Atelier in Hoboken, we use dry needling to treat tennis elbow safely and naturally.

What Is Tennis Elbow?

Tennis elbow, also known as lateral epicondylitis, is a condition that happens when the muscles and tendons around the outside of your elbow become strained or inflamed. This usually comes from repeated motions or overuse of the forearm and wrist. Even if you’ve never played tennis, everyday habits and jobs can still lead to this painful issue. Some common causes of tennis elbow include:

• repetitive typing or using a computer mouse for long hours
• sports that involve swinging, like tennis, pickleball, or golf
• lifting heavy bags, weights, or pushing carts frequently
• manual tasks like painting, hammering, or using tools

People with tennis elbow often feel a sharp or aching pain on the outside of the elbow. That pain can sometimes travel down the arm to the wrist. You might also notice your grip feels weak, and simple tasks like holding a mug, turning a doorknob, or opening a jar may become difficult or uncomfortable.

At Acupuncture Atelier, our licensed therapists in Hoboken understand how frustrating and limiting tennis elbow can be. That’s why we offer gentle, effective treatments like dry needling to help relieve pain, restore function, and get you back to doing what you love.

How Dry Needling Supports Healing

Dry needling is a natural treatment that helps your muscles relax and boosts your body’s ability to heal itself. At Acupuncture Atelier, we place very thin needles into tight or sore muscle areas to release pressure and improve blood flow.

Loosens Tight Muscles: Dry needling targets trigger points in the forearm and elbow area. These points are like tiny knots that cause stiffness and pain. Releasing them helps the muscles relax and feel better.

Reduces Swelling and Inflammation: When your elbow is sore and inflamed, it can be hard to move. Dry needling increases circulation, which brings in oxygen and nutrients to help your body calm the swelling and heal faster.

Improves Arm Movement and Strength: As the pain goes away, your elbow starts to feel stronger. Dry needling supports the tendons and muscles around your joint, so you can grip, lift, and move with more ease and less strain.

Dry needling is a powerful therapy that does more than just relieve tennis elbow; it can also help treat a wide range of muscle and nerve conditions. By targeting tight trigger points deep in the muscles, dry needling helps reduce pain, improve movement, and support faster healing.

One of the most common conditions we treat is carpal tunnel syndrome. Dry needling for carpal tunnel syndrome focuses on the muscles and tendons in the wrist and forearm that often put pressure on the median nerve. This gentle technique can ease tingling, numbness, and hand weakness without surgery or medication.

Dry needling is also helpful for:

• neck and shoulder tension
• lower back pain
• headaches and migraines
• sports injuries and overuse problems

While many people use braces, rest, or topical creams to manage these conditions, those solutions may not reach the root of the problem. Dry needling works by relaxing the muscle knots that cause stiffness and nerve pressure.

At Acupuncture Atelier in Hoboken, we often pair dry needling with other wellness services or work alongside physical therapy plans. This combined care approach supports better posture, stronger muscles, and faster pain relief—so you can return to daily activities with greater comfort and confidence.
