Dry Needling In Cedar Park
Dry Needling in Cedar Park – Powerful, Targeted Relief for Chronic Pain
Tired of living with chronic muscle tightness, nagging pain, or mobility issues that just won’t go away? If past treatments have failed, dry needling at On The Run Physical Therapy in Cedar Park could be the breakthrough you need. This advanced therapy eliminates stubborn muscle knots, resets pain pathways, and accelerates healing—getting you back to pain-free movement faster.
Why Dry Needling Works When Other Treatments Don’t
Most pain treatments only mask symptoms—they don’t fix the problem. Dry needling directly targets the root cause by:
- Releasing deep muscle knots & trigger points that cause chronic pain.
- Restoring normal muscle function by correcting imbalances.
- Improving circulation & reducing inflammation for faster healing.
- Resetting pain signals so your body stops overreacting to discomfort.
At On The Run Physical Therapy in Cedar Park, we combine dry needling with hands-on therapy and corrective exercises to ensure long-lasting results.

FAQs About Dry Needling
What’s the difference between dry needling and acupuncture?
Acupuncture is based on traditional Chinese medicine and focuses on energy flow. Dry needling is backed by modern anatomy and neuroscience, targeting muscle pain and dysfunction for faster, measurable relief.
Does dry needling hurt?
Most patients feel a brief muscle twitch or mild soreness, similar to post-workout fatigue. Any discomfort typically resolves within 24 hours. Our specialists adjust techniques to ensure your comfort.
How many sessions will I need?
Relief can often be felt after the first session, but a full treatment plan depends on your condition. We create a customized plan to achieve long-term results.
Why should I try dry needling?
If stretching, medication, or traditional therapy hasn’t worked, dry needling could be the missing piece to your recovery. It targets pain at the source for long-lasting relief.

As a life-long athlete and trainer/fitness instructor for over 30 years I had developed a long-term shoulder injury that had become less functional with each year. Of course, during my time as a fitness pro I had been exposed to and tried numerous methods of shoulder rehab on my own with little improvement to show for it. Luckily, around the time I had begun to settle for an old age limitation I met and began working with Sam Gallardo at On The Run PT. With regular visits and individualized care, I regained range of motion that I had not had in 2 decades and the nagging shoulder pain that came with driving, putting on a shirt, and exercising subsided completely. Unlike some pt scenarios, I know that when I have an appointment with Sam I will be working one-on-one with him for the entire session in a studio that has everything needed to improve athletic performance. Sam provides just the right amount of homework” that allows for steady improvement without being too much to fit into a busy day. At each session, he takes consistent measurements and assessments to make sure we are going in the right direction! Along with being a wealth of professional knowledge, Sam is always upbeat and caring with patients. I look forward to each appointment, knowing I will leave feeling better every time!

We feel so fortunate to have found Sam!! He is an exceptional person…and a gifted physical therapist providing very individually tailored therapy and training services. My daughter, a high school cross-country runner, developed stress injuries to both tibias. After graduating from a fantastic pediatric orthopedic physical therapy practice, I was looking for a more specialized therapist to meet her needs as a runner recovering from injury, and hopefully take her performance to the next level while preventing future injury. It’s a fine balance to be engaging/fun yet professional with kids…but Sam was so warm and encouraging from the get-go, listening to not only my daughter’s concerns but my feedback and questions as a parent. I am also a physical therapist in a different specialty, so I came to each session with my own set of questions! We never felt rushed, in fact he often spent more time with us than expected. She looked forward to each session. The running analysis equipment that he uses is a huge bonus and provided data that gave feedback each session to track her progress. We have learned so much from Sam, and he has actually made the recovery process fun for my daughter. We were thrilled with her performance at a pre-season race today and we look forward to an injury-free season. If we have any problems, we know where to go! Thank you, Sam!
