Improvement of Hip Pain After Total Hip Arthroplasty With Dry Needling as an Adjunct to Conventional Physiotherapy: A Case Series

Source: Cureus

While total hip arthroplasty (THA) is one of the most common and successful orthopedic surgeries, some patients may experience persistent, recurrent, or new hip pain despite successful THA.

This series highlights two patients with prior THA and current hip pain that improved with DN used alongside conventional physiotherapy exercises.
