Dry Needling in Pleasant Grove, UT

Release Tension Where It Starts

APEX uses dry needling to target trigger points and muscular tension that limit your movement and performance. Get relief that goes deeper than stretching alone.

Precision Treatment for Stubborn Problems

Direct Trigger Point Release

We insert thin needles directly into tight muscle bands and trigger points to create immediate release and reduce pain.

Works Where Other Methods Don't

Dry needling reaches deep tissue layers that manual therapy and stretching can't fully address.

Integrates with Your Rehab Plan

Needling isn't a standalone fix. We combine it with corrective exercises and strength work so results last.

What Makes Us Different

Tension That Won't Quit

You've got knots that won't release no matter how much you foam roll. Tight hip flexors limit your squat depth. Your upper traps stay locked up even after massage. You need something that addresses the root of muscular tension, not just surface-level relief that fades by tomorrow.

Real Relief You Can Feel

Hear from people who finally got lasting release.

I came to Court while I was pregnant and experiencing pain while moving around, and I was very happy with the work we did! Court was well researched and very easy to work with, and I felt like my concerns were important and listened to. Overall I felt like he was able to help me build strength that helped me to stay more mobile through my pregnancy!

Megan Thomas
In all sincerity, working with Court was life changing. I was struggling with back, knee, and shoulder pain for months. He was so attentive during our sessions and the adjustments he made to my form on specific movements that has fixed my pain during exercise. I credit his research and knowledge in helping me manage my back pain. I would highly, highly recommend him to anyone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about dry needling at APEX.

Does dry needling hurt?

You'll feel a brief pinch when the needle enters, and sometimes a twitch response when it hits the trigger point. Most people describe it as uncomfortable but tolerable, and the relief afterward makes it worthwhile.

How is dry needling different from acupuncture?

Dry needling targets muscular trigger points based on Western anatomy and pain science. Acupuncture follows traditional Chinese medicine meridians. We use dry needling specifically for musculoskeletal issues.

Can I train the same day?

Usually, yes. You might feel sore for 24-48 hours similar to a hard workout, but most people can train lightly the same day. We'll give you specific guidance based on what we needle.

Is dry needling safe?

When performed by a trained professional, dry needling is very safe. Minor bruising or soreness can occur, but serious complications are extremely rare. We follow strict sterile technique and safety protocols.
