Dry needling at Physical Therapy South in Lafayette, LA, uses small diameter, monofilament needles targeting the muscles and connective tissues in order to decrease pain, relieve headaches, normalize muscle tone, improve mobility, and stimulate a localized healing response.

Needle placement is determined during a musculoskeletal assessment by a certified dry needling practitioner. Our therapists at PT South in Lafayette, Louisiana, who are certified in dry needling; are trained to safely place needles, avoiding internal organs, neurovascular structures, and intra-articular joint spaces. This treatment modality is very safe, but our therapists will still need to screen for potential contraindications before starting treatment.
