Dry needling at Restore Health and Longevity Center isn’t offered as a stand-alone therapy—it is part of a strategic, multimodal treatment system designed to accelerate healing, reduce pain, and restore optimal movement. Performed by Trish, DPT, dry needling is seamlessly integrated with our advanced technologies, including Elvation Shockwave Therapy and the MedRay Class IV Laser, creating a unique treatment environment that sets Restore Health and Longevity Center apart.
This elevated combination produces faster, deeper, and longer-lasting results than traditional physical therapy models — especially those that rely on only one modality.
Because We Combine the Power of Three:
Targets trigger points, myofascial tension, nerve irritation, and dysfunctional muscle patterns.
Breaks up adhesions, stimulates collagen production, improves blood flow, and accelerates tissue repair in conditions such as:
Shockwave dramatically speeds up recovery and improves needle-based treatments by preparing the tissue for deeper release.
Provides:
Laser therapy amplifies the effects of dry needling and shockwave by enhancing tissue regeneration and decreasing inflammation.
Restore Health and Longevity Center offers a fully integrated, technology-supported system that pairs manual skill with advanced recovery science.
Our three-pronged method:
This is not “traditional PT.” This is a next-level, whole-body medical and performance model.

A personalized mix of:
Your treatment may be enhanced with:
Most patients experience relief within 1–24 hours, with cumulative improvements occurring over a series of sessions.
Combining dry needling, shockwave therapy, and Class IV laser targets:
This synergy delivers results far beyond what any single therapy can achieve.
Dry needling with Trish is available now and can be booked as a stand-alone appointment or as part of your integrative recovery plan.
Dry needling is a clinical treatment performed with thin, sterile monofilament needles inserted into tight muscles, trigger points, or areas of dysfunction to release tension, reduce pain, and restore normal movement patterns.
While both use similar needles, dry needling is rooted in Western medical science, focusing on muscles, nerves, and trigger points. Acupuncture is based on traditional Chinese medicine and meridian systems.
Most patients feel a brief muscle twitch or deep ache when the needle hits a trigger point — this is normal and indicates release. The discomfort is mild and typically lasts only seconds.
Yes. When performed by a licensed physical therapist trained in dry needling, it is safe and highly effective. Needles are sterile, single-use, and FDA-approved.
Typically 15–45 minutes, depending on the areas being treated and whether other modalities (shockwave, laser, stretching, corrective work) are included.
Some patients feel immediate relief; others require 3–6 sessions for chronic or complex issues. Trish will assess and create a personalized plan.
You may feel:
Staying hydrated and applying heat can help with any soreness.
Yes — and this is where RestoreHLC excels. Dry needling can be paired with Elvation Shockwave Therapy, MedRay Class IV Laser, chiropractic care, cryotherapy, PEMF, compression, and more for dramatically improved results.
Patients who are pregnant, on blood thinners, have uncontrolled bleeding disorders, or have significant needle anxiety may require modifications or alternative therapies.
(Dry Needling + Elvation Shockwave + MedRay Class IV Laser)
Together, these three therapies:
This creates a powerful, multi-layered treatment effect that is faster and more complete than any single therapy alone.
This integrated system is ideal for:
If it’s musculoskeletal — this combination improves it.
Dry Needling: Releases dysfunctional muscle tissue and calms irritated nerves.
Shockwave Therapy (Elvation): Stimulates collagen, increases circulation, and remodels damaged tissue.
Class IV Laser (MedRay): Reduces inflammation, boosts ATP production, and accelerates repair.
These therapies attack pain and dysfunction from different angles, creating comprehensive healing.
Not always — but many patients benefit from combining the treatments during the same session. Your therapist will recommend what is appropriate based on your condition and goals.
Many patients notice improvement after the first session. More complex or chronic issues typically see major progress within 3–6 visits.
Yes. All three therapies are FDA-cleared, clinically validated, and performed by trained clinicians. They are non-surgical, minimally invasive, and safe for most patients.
Absolutely. This combination is ideal for golfers, runners, tennis players, lifters, and competitive athletes who need fast recovery and enhanced performance.
Minimal to none. You may experience temporary soreness where needles or shockwave were applied, but most patients return to normal activity within the same day.
Traditional PT typically involves exercises and manual therapy alone.
RestoreHLC’s integrated system:
This is next-level physical medicine, designed for faster, deeper, and more lasting outcomes.
Anyone dealing with pain, mobility limitations, chronic tightness, sports injuries, or movement dysfunction — especially those who haven’t seen results from standard PT or chiropractic alone.
