FACTORS TO KNOW BEFORE DRY NEEDLING
2
Dry needling is not a very common procedure for
physiotherapy, nevertheless, people are gradually
becoming aware of this technique and its various
advantages.
3
Dry needling is a therapeutic procedure that is
done by inserting dry, short, fine, solid
stainless-steel filiform needles into myofascial
trigger points. This treatment is also known as
myofascial dry needling therapy because it
relieves myofascial pain and ameliorates the
range of motion of joints.

This is a slightly unfamiliar procedure, so
people do not know what to expect or what type of
preparation they should be doing before going
into sessions. Here are a few things that you
should know before going for dry needling.
5
ASK QUESTIONS
Whether you are informed about this procedure or
not, it is always beneficial to ask as many
questions as you like. The level of your
nervousness and anxiety reduces as gradually all
your questions are answered. Do not hesitate even
if you have hundreds of questions.

ASSESSMENT EXAMINATION
Carry the record of your medical history with you
because prior to the procedure, therapist will go
through it. He/she will then do an assessment
including physical examination and will see if
you are a suitable candidate for the dry
needling. Dry needling in Delhi is done by the
utmost professionals at PHYSIOREVIVE, they will
leave no stone unturned to make sure that you are
at zero risk or have any unusual side effects
post procedure. However, as a patient, be honest
about your medical history, do not hide anything
from the therapist.

Usually, the session does not last long, it takes
about 5-10 minutes to get the procedure done.
However, along with dry needling, you have other
sessions such as physiotherapy including
exercises and cold pack application, so the
overall procedure may last from 30 minutes to an
hour, depending on your recovery from the
previous session.

LOCATION SETTING
Unlike other therapies, dry needling physio
therapy at home is although possible but this
process requires some severe medical attention,
which is only available at the centre or clinic.
But, you dont have to worry about it because it
will be a private session, you will be taken to a
separate curtained or enclosed room so there
wont be any onlookers to make you nervous.
9
PROPER OUTFIT
Just like physiotherapy, you need to wear clothes
that make you feel comfortable and which provide
the therapist with access to the area of
treatment. For instance, If your shoulder needs
to be treated, then wear a sleeveless or a
half-sleeved t-shirt that can easily roll up to
your shoulder. Or if your knee is to be treated,
then wear shorts or loose baggy pants that can
easily be rolled up to your knee.
10
ASSURANCE
Dry needling therapy is an advanced treatment
which is novel but effective so professionally a
consent is required before its done. It sounds
more ethical professional, if patient is well
explained before the procedure to ensure best
results.
