Dry needling is a proven, evidence-based therapy that uses thin, sterile needles to release tight muscle “trigger points.” These trigger points often cause pain, limit movement, and send discomfort to other parts of your body.
Unlike acupuncture, dry needling is backed by modern science and proven to rapidly restore movement and reduce pain. We help:
Release knots and tension
Reduce inflammation
Restore natural movement
Speed up recovery

When muscles become overworked or injured, they can develop taut bands of tissue—commonly known as trigger points. These areas often feel like small nodules and can cause local or referred pain.
By inserting a needle into the trigger point, we cause a local twitch response, which helps:
Disrupt dysfunctional muscle activity
Improve blood flow to the area
Reduce inflammation and pain
Encourage the muscle to relax and return to normal function
This process promotes natural healing and often results in reduced pain and improved range of motion—sometimes even after just one session.

STEP #1
Your first appointment will begin with a thorough evaluation. We’ll talk about your symptoms, medical history, and goals. Then we’ll conduct a physical assessment to identify specific muscles or trigger points that may be contributing to your pain.
STEP #2
Once we’ve identified the target areas, we’ll insert fine, monofilament needles into the muscles. You may feel a twitch or a slight cramp—this is a good sign! It means we’ve hit the right spot. Most patients report only mild discomfort and often feel immediate relief or reduced tension. Most likely 4-6 sessions, but will vary upon severity and response to treatment & last 30–45 minutes.
STEP #3
It’s normal to feel a bit sore after dry needling—similar to the feeling after a deep tissue massage. We’ll give you simple aftercare instructions to minimize soreness and maximize results. Hydration, gentle movement, and heat or ice can help speed up recovery.
Many patients report reduced pain and improved function within just 24–48 hours.

I know firsthand how frustrating it feels to be held back by pain and injuries. After competing as a top athlete in high school and college, injuries ended my career as a runner — but they also
inspired me to dedicate my life to helping others get back to the activities they love.
That journey led me to earn my Doctor of Physical Therapy degree and advanced certifications in Personal Training, Corrective Exercise, and Dry Needling. Over the years, I’ve worked with patients of all ages — from athletes to busy parents — to relieve pain, restore mobility, and improve quality of life.
Today, my focus is simple: helping the Draper community move better, recover faster, and live without limitations. Whether you’re struggling with chronic tightness, recovering from an injury, or just want to feel stronger and more active, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
Dr. Braydon Lavery earned his Doctorate of Physical Therapy degree from South College and is a licensed physical therapist in the state of Utah. Since receiving his license he has become a Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) and a Corrective Exercise Specialist (CES), both from the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM). He has also become certified in Dry Needling through the Spinal Manipulation Institute & Dry Needling Institute.
Every appointment lasts 60 minutes and starts on the hour (8am, 11am, 3pm, etc.). Your initial evaluation usually takes about 45-60 minutes depending on the patient's complexity.
If possible, please wear something that you can exercise or move comfortably in as we will perform various exercises and need access to the areas of the body being treated.

We also have extra shorts and t-shirts that you may use if needed.

YES! A Health Savings Account (HSA) is a type of personal savings account you can set up to pay certain health care costs. An HSA allows you to put money away and withdraw it tax free, as long as you use it for qualified medical expenses, like deductibles, copayments, coinsurance, and more. I accept HSA cards as a method of payment, however, you should verify with your institution prior to your scheduled appointment.
I treat a variety of injuries and conditions, such as muscular and joint pain , sports injuries, pre/post-surgical rehabilitation, and balance and mobility issues.See the Dry Needling section to see common areas treated such as knee osteoarthritis!
YES! When dry needling is applied to an affected muscle or trigger point, it can decrease muscle tightness, increase blood flow and reduce pain. Patients often report immediate relief after treatment. The needles remain in your muscle for a short period of time — between 10 seconds and 20 minutes — during treatment (Mayo Clinic, 2023).
Dry needling is similar to acupuncture but the approach or reasoning behind it is different. Dry needling utilizes a "Western medicine" approach targeting trigger points within muscles rather than the "Eastern medicine" approach that emphasizes moving Chi and energy to heal the body.
Most people feel only a quick prick during needle insertion. You might experience a muscle twitch or brief soreness, but discomfort is minimal and usually short-lived.
That depends on your condition, how long you’ve been dealing with it, and how your body responds to treatment. Many patients feel better within 1–3 sessions, while others benefit from a series of 4–6 treatments combined with physical therapy.
Yes, when performed by licensed professionals like our team at Body Solutions PT. We use sterile, single-use needles and follow strict safety protocols to ensure your comfort and well-being.
While both use similar needles, dry needling is based on Western anatomical and neurological principles. It targets muscle trigger points, not energy meridians. The techniques and goals are different.
