As a primary caregiver, a physical therapist can assess, diagnose, and treat your injury through a combination of methods that may include: manual therapy, postural re-education, manipulation, dry needling, modalities such as ultrasound, laser and heat, and/or exercise prescription. Education plays an crucial role in physical therapy. The goal of physical therapy is to work with you to return you to your optimal function and strength, while educating you about your injury. This allows you to independently maintain a healthy body without the constant supervision of a therapist.

Dry needling is a form of therapy in which fine needles are inserted into myofascial trigger points (painful knots in muscles), tendons, ligaments, or near nerves in order to stimulate a healing response in painful musculoskeletal conditions. As part of your overall treatment plan, dry needling has many benefits. The procedure is inexpensive and generally considered safe. It carries a low risk of complications if performed by a trained provider. Research shows dry needling can release your trigger points, which may help relieve your muscle pain and stiffness. Releasing your trigger points may also increase your flexibility and improve your range of motion.

Dry needling can help with musculoskeletal issues such as:
- Back issues - cervical, thoracic, lumbar
- Knee, ankle and foot injuries
- Shoulder injuries, tennis elbow, hand and wrist pain
- Tendon and ligament issues, repetitive/overuse injuries
- Chronic headaches, TMJ issues

As a primary provider in lymphedema care, a physical therapist trained in lymphedema management can assess, stage, and treat your condition using a comprehensive approach known as Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT). This may include: manual lymphatic drainage (MLD), compression bandaging or garment fitting, skin care education, exercise tailored to promote lymph flow, and techniques to improve tissue mobility. Education is a vital component of lymphedema therapy. The goal is to reduce swelling, improve function, and help you manage your condition independently through self-care strategies, empowering you to maintain long-term results outside of the clinical setting.
