Chronic Pain Shouldn't Hold You Back
If you're dealing with persistent muscle pain, limited mobility, or recurring injuries, traditional treatment approaches might not be addressing the root cause.
Muscle Tension Won't Release
You've tried stretching, foam rolling, and rest, but that deep muscle tightness and trigger point pain keeps coming back, limiting your performance and daily activities.
Recovery Takes Too Long
Standard treatments provide temporary relief, but you're frustrated by how long it takes to get back to training, competing, or simply moving without pain.
Limited Local Options
Finding experienced dry needling providers with elite-level sports medicine expertise near League City can be challenging, leaving you without the advanced care you need.

Is dry needling worth the drive from League City to College Station?
Many of our League City patients find that the 90-minute drive is well worth it for access to elite-level sports medicine care. Unlike acupuncture clinics or general physical therapy offices, we combine dry needling with comprehensive movement assessment, manual therapy, and recovery techniques used at the collegiate and professional levels. Our patients often see significant improvement in just 2-4 sessions, and we offer flexible scheduling including early morning and evening appointments to accommodate your travel.
Does dry needling hurt? What should I expect during treatment?
Most patients describe dry needling as a brief, tolerable sensation—often less uncomfortable than the chronic pain they've been living with. You may feel a quick muscle twitch when we hit a trigger point, which is actually a good sign that we're releasing tension. Some mild soreness is normal for 24-48 hours after treatment, similar to post-workout muscle fatigue. We'll thoroughly explain the process during your free phone consultation and adjust our approach based on your comfort level.
How is dry needling different from acupuncture?
While both techniques use thin needles, dry needling is based on Western medicine and anatomy—specifically targeting muscular trigger points, fascia, and neurological pathways to relieve pain and restore function. Our integrative dry needling approach is combined with sports medicine techniques like manual therapy, movement assessment, and corrective exercises to address the root cause of your condition, not just symptoms. Dan's extensive experience with elite athletes means you're getting treatment protocols proven at the highest levels of performance.
Do you accept insurance for dry needling in League City?
We're currently a cash-pay practice, which allows us to spend more time with each patient and provide the comprehensive, individualized care you deserve. Many patients find our transparent pricing and session packages more affordable than navigating traditional insurance copays and restrictions. We're happy to provide detailed receipts (superbills) that you can submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement. Contact us at 979-353-1274 to discuss pricing and payment options.
