Dry Needling in Wauwatosa, WI

Dry needling and acupuncture use similar needles but are different approaches. At MyPT, dry needling is considered as part of a physical therapy plan to address muscular trigger points that may be associated with pain or limited movement.

MyPT requires a full initial evaluation to determine whether dry needling is a safe and appropriate option for you. Your therapist discusses your goals and assessment findings before deciding with you whether it belongs in your care plan.

When appropriate, dry needling is one part of care and may be paired with movement, corrective exercise, education, or other hands-on techniques. Your therapist will explain how each option relates to your goals rather than relying on a single treatment for every concern.
