Many insurance plans cover dry needling when performed by a licensed physical therapist as part of your treatment plan. Our Philadelphia clinic staff will verify your benefits and explain your coverage before treatment begins.

How is dry needling different from acupuncture? +

Most patients experience significant relief within 2-4 sessions, though this varies based on your condition's severity and duration. During your initial evaluation at our Philadelphia physical therapy clinic, we'll create a personalized treatment timeline for your specific needs.

Most patients describe the sensation as a brief muscle twitch or mild cramping that lasts only seconds. Our skilled Philadelphia therapists use precise techniques to minimize discomfort while maximizing therapeutic benefit. Many patients find the immediate relief well worth any momentary sensation.
