Needles Left in Place · Ashburn, VA
Elite's 20-minute Dry Needling session places thin, sterile needles in selected areas and leaves them in place for part of the visit. Electrical stimulation (e-stim) may be added when your qualified provider determines it fits your plan; it is not included in every session.
Clinical Rehab Comes First
New injury or post-surgery concern? Begin with a Rehab Evaluation. If you are choosing between needling services, Trigger Point uses an active technique and requires its own initial visit before follow-ups. Standard Dry Needling is more passive and can be booked directly; e-stim is added only if your provider determines it is appropriate. Neither technique is inherently better for everyone.
First, your provider evaluates muscle tension, movement, and trigger points. When appropriate, they may treat one or several identified areas using controlled needle movement (pistoning). This is a more active technique than standard Dry Needling.
First Visit: Book Initial EvaluationThin needles are placed in selected areas and left in place for part of the visit rather than repeatedly moved. Electrical stimulation (e-stim) may be added if your provider finds it appropriate; it is not included automatically.
Book Dry Needling · 20 MinThe Trigger Point follow-up is only for clients who have completed its own initial evaluation. New injury or post-surgery concern? Start with the broader Rehab Evaluation. A qualified provider confirms which technique, if any, suits your clinical needs.
Dry Needling in Ashburn
At Elite, Dry Needling is the more passive option: your provider places thin needles in selected areas and leaves them in place for part of the visit rather than moving them repeatedly. You can book this service directly, and your provider confirms suitability and monitors your response. E-stim may be added when appropriate, but it is not automatic.
Trigger Point Dry Needling is the separate, more active approach: the provider deliberately moves the needle in a selected trigger point (controlled pistoning/manipulation). Its technique-specific first visit is a 40-minute initial evaluation; 30-minute follow-ups are for clients who have completed that visit. Neither technique is universally better. For new pain, injury, or post-surgical concerns, begin with the broader Rehab Evaluation so a provider can determine your clinical plan.

You prefer a less active treatment where needles remain in place briefly rather than moving repeatedly.
You understand that optional e-stim depends on clinical suitability, not the appointment name.
You will begin with a Rehab Evaluation instead if you have a new injury or post-surgical concern.
