Dry needling
Offered where state law allows it, by a therapist with training in it.
Texas lets physical therapists use dry needling when they meet the board's rules. Tremaine has completed post-graduate dry needling training, and he explains the technique and its risks before any needling. It is one tool among others, and some people never need it.

What we do
How it fits into your care
An exam first
Dry needling is never the first thing we do. Your evaluation comes first, and your therapist explains what they found.
Risks, said out loud
Soreness, bruising and, rarely, more serious effects can happen. You can say no or stop at any time.
Part of a plan
It sits beside loading and movement work, not in place of it.
What to know before you book
What decides how many visits
That depends on your exam and how your body responds. Your therapist explains what decides it and checks in every visit.
When to see a doctor first
See a physician first, or call 911, for chest pain, trouble breathing, a sudden severe headache or pain, new weakness or numbness, or loss of bladder or bowel control. Your therapist will also send you to a physician if the exam points that way.
