Dry Needling for Richardson residents
Axis Physical Therapy sees Richardson residents at our two Plano offices. We treat patients from Canyon Creek, Cottonwood Creek, the Telecom Corridor, the Reservation, the UT Dallas neighborhoods, and Heights Park — many of whom appreciate that we book early-morning and late-afternoon slots that fit a working schedule.
Richardson patients choose Axis PT for the one-on-one care model with no aide hand-offs. Our therapists treat the full range of orthopedic, sports, and chronic-pain conditions, and we coordinate directly with the surgeons at Axis Orthopedic & Spine for post-surgical patients.

Dry Needling in Richardson — FAQs
Does Axis Physical Therapy have a Richardson office?
Not currently. Both Axis PT offices are in Plano. Richardson residents are seen at whichever Plano office offers the right service and the soonest opening.
Do you treat patients from the Telecom Corridor?
Yes — we see many patients who work in the Telecom Corridor for everything from herniated discs and rotator cuff tears to overuse injuries from desk-based work. Early-morning and late-afternoon slots are available for working professionals.
Are evening appointments available?
We reserve late-afternoon slots for working professionals — exact availability varies by day and therapist. Our front desk can find the best window when you call to schedule.
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.
