Can Dry Needling Help You Sleep Better? Surprising Benefits Beyond Pain Relief

Most people associate dry needling with muscle pain relief. But at Box Acupuncture in San Jose, we see another powerful benefit: better sleep. When used as part of our B.O.X. Method™:

  • Break: muscular tension in the neck, upper back, jaw, and scalp

  • Optimize: nervous system regulation with acupuncture and red light therapy

  • eXpand: relaxation response with breathwork and movement reeducation

Dry needling improves blood flow, calms overstimulated nerves, and relieves the chronic physical tension that keeps you up at night. It’s covered by Cigna, Aetna, United Healthcare, and Sutter Health, and we also treat worker’s comp cases via CorVel, Intercare, ICS, and InterMed.
