Physical therapists utilize dry needling as another important treatment technique to help patients progress toward regaining optimal function and movement patterns. Our background in anatomy and physiology, neuromuscular re-education, soft tissue dysfunction, and pain management provides us with an excellent understanding in addition to extensive continuing education dry needling coursework of how to utilize dry needling effectively.

As a clinician myself, I have seen how effective dry needling can be in treating chronic pain and dysfunction in patients that had lost hope in finding relief. Eliminating pain, muscle weakness, and range of motion restrictions allows the patient to finally make progress toward recovery, insted of cycling through ongoing pain. I have greatly benefited from receiving dry needling treatment myself to address chronic myofascial pain and dysfunction, allowing me to continue practicing as a physical therapist.
