Acupuncture & Dry Needling in Granite City
As time-tested ways of encouraging the body’s own ability to heal, acupuncture and dry needling stimulate the nervous system, improve circulation, and bring balance back to areas under stress. Whether you’re seeking relief from pain, more restful sleep, or better overall well-being, these approaches offer safe and personalized support.
How Acupuncture Works
Understandably many people are concerned about the needles used in acupuncture. Rest assured, they’re very thin (hair-like) and are placed at specific points along pathways called meridians. These points connect with different organs and functions of the body.
By gently stimulating them, acupuncture can help ease pain, reduce tension, and address issues such as headaches, anxiety, menstrual discomfort, digestive concerns, hormonal balance, and more. Some patients may also benefit from light electrical stimulation to enhance results.
How Dry Needling Differs

Dr. Sailor Myers trained in acupuncture while completing her Doctor of Chiropractic degree at Logan University and later earned advanced certification in dry needling through Master Dry Needling. Drawing on this experience, she takes time to listen, understand, and guide you toward the option best suited for your needs.

What To Expect At Your Visit
Before your session, it’s important to stay hydrated and wear loose, comfortable clothing. At your first appointment, you’ll complete new patient paperwork, then sit down with Dr. Myers to review your health history and goals. Most patients feel only a quick pinch at insertion, and many are surprised by how comfortable and relaxing the process becomes. You remain in control the entire time—you can pause or stop at any point.
Contraindications may include bleeding disorders, blood thinners, fever, infection, first-trimester pregnancy, or recent surgery. Always let Dr. Myers know about any medical conditions or medications before beginning care.
