Targeted Relief From Chronic Pain With Dry Needling Services in La Crosse
If unrelenting muscle tension, restricted mobility from past injuries, or unresolved neurological and movement dysfunction has you struggling to perform basic tasks pain-free, exploring dry needling at O’Brien Physical Therapy & Wellness can provide lasting relief when other methods fail. This effective technique leverages microscopic monofilament needles to release knots and trigger points, reboot neurological signaling, accelerate healing, and reduce discomfort naturally.
We view your health journey holistically, addressing the root causes of dysfunction rather than just chasing symptoms. Dry needling combined with manual therapy and customized exercise empowers patients to take control toward recovery.
When is Dry Needling Effective and Why?
Dry needling provides targeted, often immediate relief for both acute and chronic neuromuscular conditions by:
- Resetting abnormal signaling loops causing increased muscle tone, spasming, cramping
- Improving metabolic exchange and flushing inflammatory irritants in ischemic zones
- Reestablishing ideal sliding mobility between muscular and fascial planes
- Promoting tissue regeneration for strained, dense regions
- Releasing trapped cutaneous nerves and vessels
- Stimulating endogenous pain modulation effects
Common Conditions Benefiting Include:
- Migraines and cervicogenic headaches

“Jill and her staff are simply the best! I was advised to contact Jill regarding some back pain. I scheduled my first appointment. I was skeptical about doing so because I figured I would be throwing money out the window because I really doubted, she could help. Thank goodness I took the advice from a friend because I was extremely impressed the minute I walked in. Jill took the time to listen to my back issues. She recommended “dry needling” and I agreed to do so. She took the time to explain what she was doing. Later that day, I felt less pain in my lower back. I have continued more therapy and have been incredibly happy with the results. She doesn’t force you to do more than you want. I will continue to be a patient of Jill’s, plus she is super nice, and I have enjoyed every visit with her.”
