Dry Needling in East Memphis
Tight, knotted muscles can make every move a chore, whether it’s shoulder tension, forearm pain from work or sports, or stubborn low back tightness. Dry needling at Back and Neck Specialists is a precise technique that releases trigger points and restores normal motion, allowing you to return to your daily life without pain.
Your first step is to book your consultation (phone or in-office) to see if it’s right for you. We also offer same-day appointments when available. Dry needling is a cash service; HSA payments are accepted.

How Dry Needling Works for You
Performed by Dr. Josh Cole, dry needling uses a very thin, sterile filament needle to target muscle trigger points—areas starved of blood flow and oxygen—that keep a muscle tight and painful. The goal is to elicit a brief “twitch response,” which helps flush irritants and lets the muscle relax.
Sessions typically take about 15 minutes. You may feel sore for a day or two, but the area should feel looser and less tense. Dr. Josh follows a safety-first approach and will discuss whether you’re a candidate before proceeding with any care.
What Issues Can It Help
Dry needling can reduce pain and improve mobility across many common problem areas, especially when muscles are guarding or overworked.
- Shoulder tightness and rotator cuff‑related soreness
- Golfer’s elbow and tennis elbow (forearm pain)
- Low back and glute muscle spasm
- Calf strains and cramping
- Postural tension in the neck and upper back
Why Choose Us for Dry Needling
Dry needling at Back and Neck Specialists is often paired with chiropractic care to speed results—relaxed muscles make adjustments more effective. When needed, we may apply E-stim with ice to help calm inflammation before you’re adjusted.
