If you’ve heard of dry needling but aren’t quite sure what it is—or whether it’s right for you—you’re not alone.

If you’ve recently started pelvic floor physical therapy — or are thinking about it — one of the first questions that probably comes to mind is: How long will this take to work? It’s a fair question, especially when you’re dealing with symptoms like leaking, pelvic pressure, or discomfort that affect your daily life.

Pelvic floor therapy is often associated with new moms — and for good reason. Pregnancy and childbirth place significant strain on these deep core muscles.

Back pain is one of the most common and frustrating issues adults deal with. Whether it comes from long hours at a desk, years of repetitive lifting, or simply aging, the problem isn’t just the pain—it’s how persistent and hard to treat it can become.

Dry needling is a targeted, evidence-based technique used by licensed physical therapists to reduce pain, relieve muscle tension, and improve movement.
