Plano, TX
Dry Needling at our Plano clinics
Axis Physical Therapy operates two clinics in Plano — one at 4090 Mapleshade Lane (East Plano) and one at 5655 W Spring Creek Pkwy (West Plano). We see Plano residents from across the city, plus Murphy, Sachse, Wylie, and Parker patients who choose to come in for one-on-one DPT-led care.
Every Axis PT visit is one-on-one with a doctor of physical therapy — no hand-off to aides for the bulk of your session. We work directly with the orthopedic and spine surgeons at Axis Orthopedic & Spine for surgical patients, and we accept direct-access patients with or without a physician referral. Most new patients are seen within the week.

Dry Needling in Plano — FAQs
Where are your two Plano offices?
East Plano: 4090 Mapleshade Lane, Suite 102A, Plano, TX 75093. West Plano: 5655 W Spring Creek Pkwy, Suite 115, Plano, TX 75024. Same hours, same therapists, same care model at both — book whichever is more convenient.
Which Plano office should I go to?
Whichever fits your schedule. Most patients pick based on which side of Plano they live or work on, but our front desk can help match you to the office with the soonest opening if scheduling speed matters more than location.
Do you take walk-ins in Plano?
We're appointment-based but reserve same-day slots for urgent issues. Call (469) 649-7004 — we can usually fit acute injuries in the same week.
Do I need a physician referral to be seen at your Plano clinic?
Texas allows direct access to PT, so no — you can be seen for an evaluation without a physician referral. Some insurance plans require one for billing; we verify before your first visit.
Is dry needling the same as acupuncture?
No. Acupuncture is based on traditional Chinese medicine meridians and energy concepts. Dry needling is based on Western anatomy and trigger point theory — same tools, completely different framework and indication.
Does dry needling hurt?
Most patients feel a brief deep ache or twitch when the needle hits a trigger point. The needle insertion itself is usually painless. Most people describe it as 'satisfying' rather than 'painful.'
How quickly will it work?
Many patients feel immediate post-session relief and improved range of motion. Durable change usually takes 2–6 sessions integrated with manual therapy and exercise.
Are there side effects?
Mild post-treatment soreness for 24–48 hours is common — similar to post-workout muscle soreness. Bruising at needle sites is occasional. Serious adverse effects are rare with proper technique.
