Dry Needling in Pflugerville, TX

Release the Tension. Rebuild the Movement.

Dry needling at OPAL targets trigger points and restricted tissue to reduce pain, improve mobility, and create the foundation for lasting movement change.

For active adults who want more than surface-level relief

You have stubborn tightness that stretching can't fix

You've been stretching and foam rolling for months, but the tension keeps coming back. Dry needling targets the source at a deeper level.

You've tried PT or massage but keep hitting the same wall

Massage and standard PT gave temporary relief, but the same areas keep locking up. Dry needling targets what those approaches left behind.

You want targeted relief built into a real movement plan

You want dry needling done by a certified physical therapist, integrated into a real plan — not just isolated as a single-session fix.

Real results from people who stopped chasing the same pain and started moving better.

I highly recommend Opal Movement Therapy. Dr. Evan was amazing. I came in with some hip issues. I dreaded getting out bed in the morning it hurt so much. He listened to my concerns, and tailored my treatment to meet my needs. We also worked on my balance challenge The team is very knowledgeable, goes above & beyond and really cares about their patients. Thanks to Dr. Evan's help I am able to get out of bed & move around pain-free and my stability with my balance has improved.

Morgan and Sam are the GOATs! During my training for the Austin Marathon, Morgan worked on my knee and got me back on track. She explained what was going wrong, did some manipulations (chefs kiss), and then showed me a few exercises that I could work into my training plan. Fast forward a few months and I PRed by about 20 minutes and almost broke 3 hours! Both of them are SO knowledgeable and committed to their patients. If you are looking for doctors who are committed to the journey and to being your biggest cheerleader, OPAL is the right place for you. I cannot recommend them enough!

I spent the last three years with shoulder pain. I tried every manner of treatment from injections to physical therapy to lasers to sound waves and on. Even spent hours in 3 different orthopedics' offices who simply wanted to do surgery to "figure out" what my issue was. Luckily, social media put a video of Opal Movement on my feed and I watched. So I made an appointment, drove 3 hours to meet Dr.'s Morgan and Magda in Austin. It was the first time I felt like a Dr was actually listening to me and 100% focused on trying to solve my problem. After an hour of me explaining my physical history, they had a theory as to the source of my pain: shoulder mechanics. Then they laid out steps I could take to heal, move better, and get back to an active lifestyle. I kid you not, Reviewers, I felt 80% better in less than 72 hours. I drove back to Austin the next week and signed up for their program and haven't looked back since. Today, three months later, I am back in the gym lifting weights, ballroom dancing with my wife, and pain free. Opal Movement Therapy should be your first stop/step when it comes to physical conundrums. They will get you back on the healthy path faster than you can read this. Thank you, Dr. Magda and Dr. Morgan. Heroes!

Frequently Asked Questions

Learn how dry needling works at OPAL and what makes it different.

Do you take insurance?

We're cash-based and out-of-network. We provide itemized receipts for potential reimbursement and accept HSA/FSA. Payment plans are available.

Is dry needling the same as acupuncture?

No. Dry needling is a PT technique targeting trigger points and restricted muscle tissue. It's distinct from acupuncture and is applied within the context of physical therapy to support movement retraining.

Can I come in just for a dry needling session?

We don't offer single-modality visits. Dry needling is one tool within your PT plan, and lasting results come from pairing it with movement retraining, not using it in isolation.

Does dry needling hurt?

You may feel a brief twitch response or mild soreness during and after treatment. This is normal and typically resolves within 24 hours. Most clients notice improved movement soon after.

How does dry needling fit into my overall plan?

Your physical therapist integrates dry needling to reduce tissue restriction and calm overactive muscles before movement training. It's one targeted tool within your broader PT plan.
