How we can help
Dry needling uses a thin needle without injected medication. It may be considered alongside other rehabilitation approaches when it fits your evaluation and clinical needs.
What your evaluation may address
- The pain and movement concerns you want to address
- Relevant medical history
- Your comfort with the proposed approach
- How the approach fits your overall rehabilitation plan
What to expect
Your therapist explains the treatment, discusses suitability and obtains consent before proceeding. Dry needling is considered within the overall plan rather than selected solely from a website.
