Targeted trigger-point care for tight muscles.
Dry needling places a thin, sterile needle into or near a myofascial trigger point. A brief twitch, deep ache, or local release can occur when the irritated muscle responds. The goal is to reduce muscle guarding, improve comfort, and make movement-based care easier.
Built for Ruston and Lincoln Parish.
Between Louisiana Tech, Grambling State, Ruston High athletics, desk-heavy study time, and I-20 travel, Ruston patients commonly need muscle-focused care for overuse and tightness.

What is trigger-point dry needling?
Trigger-point dry needling uses thin, sterile, solid filiform needles placed into or near tight bands of muscle. The goal is to calm irritated myofascial trigger points, reduce muscle guarding, and help restore more comfortable movement. No medication is injected.
Is dry needling the same as acupuncture?
No. The needles look similar, but dry needling is based on anatomy, muscle trigger points, pain referral patterns, and movement findings. Acupuncture is a separate traditional Chinese medicine practice that uses a different diagnostic system and treatment framework.
What problems can dry needling help with?
Dry needling is commonly used as part of care for muscle pain and tightness, neck and shoulder tension, low-back and hip muscle guarding, sports or overuse soreness, restricted range of motion, and muscle contributors to tension-type headaches.
What should I expect during and after a dry needling visit?
Dr. Fournier first evaluates whether dry needling fits your symptoms and health history. During treatment you may feel a small prick, deep ache, or brief muscle twitch. Mild soreness afterward can happen, similar to post-workout soreness, and your care plan may include mobility or home-care instructions.
