Dr. Kim | Pain & Sports Rehab

Rested it, wore the strap, changed your grip, and still in pain.
Dry needling isn’t the fix for everything. It’s very good at a few specific things.

Swipe for the research — 108 patients, dry needling against a cortisone shot, and what looked different at six months.

Here’s how I actually use it. I’m trained in @structureandfunction and their Pentamodal method, so it’s never just sticking a needle where it hurts. Chronic elbow pain keeps coming back because the nervous system is part of the problem, not only the tendon. Pairing the MYK system with dry needling is what has consistently given my patients a pain-free window. It’s where we rehab and strengthen the tendon.

Then the exercises have to fit the person in front of me. Same diagnosis, different sport, different hands, different demands.

The needle opens the window. Strength is what keeps it open.

How long has your elbow been bothering you?
