See how targeted dry needling can help you find relief.
Something isn't right.
Getting through your workday takes more effort than it should. Exercise has become difficult. Sleep is interrupted. Intimate moments are uncomfortable or painful. Standard treatments haven't worked. Physical therapy helped a little, but the pain came back.
Sound familiar? At Integrative Family Acupuncture & Massage Therapy in Smithtown, we hear this story often. It's why we've dedicated our practice to offering something different. Our specialized dry-needling treatment offers a different approach when standard therapy isn't enough.
Why Pelvic Floor Problems Run Deep
Most people don't think about their pelvic floor until there's a problem. But these muscles do so much. They help you stand tall, keep you dry, and let you enjoy intimate moments. When they're not happy, nothing feels right.
Basic exercises help some people. But many need a more precise solution.
That's where our expertise makes a difference. We use advanced dry needling techniques to release trigger points in your pelvic floor muscles: tight knots of tissue that other treatments often miss.
This targeted approach helps restore proper muscle function and relieves pain at its source.

How Dry Needling Works
Think of trigger points as tiny muscle knots, scar tissue and adhesions that create pain and tension. Regular stretching and exercise can't always reach or break them down. Our dry needling technique uses thin, comfortable needles to target these specific points, helping:
Release stubborn muscle tension
Improve blood flow to damaged tissues
Improve oxygen flow to heal tissues
Calm oversensitive nerves
Restore normal muscle function
Break up scar tissue preventing recovery
Restore organ function

Coming to See Us
Sitting in a doctor's office right now? Reading this on your phone while you wait for another appointment that might not help? We've been there. Our patients tell us that story all the time.
Here’s what happens when you visit us:
You get an hour with us. A real hour. Not a rushed appointment where you barely finish describing your symptoms before time's up.
Bring yourself. Maybe medical records if you have them handy. We'll figure out the rest together.
The needles? Tiny. Very, very tiny. People literally fall asleep during treatment. (Not kidding, we keep a blanket in every room because so many people nap.)
The Money Part
Nobody likes surprise medical bills. Call us. We will provide you with the exact cost after your in-person evaluation. Because of how specialized this therapy is, we will provide you with a superbill so that you can submit for reimbursement if covered by your insurance plan. Call your insurance to see if you have out of network acupuncture or dry needle benefits. We have flexible payment options so that you can receive the most important care now.
