Physical Therapy

Providing "hands on" therapy since 1998, Commonwealth Orthopaedics Physical Therapy was developed to serve the orthopaedic, work, and athletic needs of our patients.

Commonwealth Physical Therapy's "hands on" approach begins with an extensive evaluation of the patient's problem. Goals of treatment are discussed and agreed upon. An individualized treatment plan is developed to attain these goals and achieve maximum functional capacity. Commonwealth physical therapists pride themselves on their personalized manual therapy techniques.

The clinics are located adjacent to the Commonwealth physician offices which allows immediate communication, consult and follow-up with the patient's physician. All the physical therapists are registered and licensed in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Dry Needling Technique

Dry Needling is an invasive technique used by physical and occupational therapists to treat acute and chronic pain, and rehabilitation from injury with very few side effects. The technique uses a filament needle, without medication or injection, which is inserted into areas of the muscle known as trigger points. A trigger point describes a taut band of skeletal muscle located within a larger muscle group. Trigger points can be tender to the touch and can refer pain to distant parts of the body. Physical and Occupational therapists utilize dry needling with the goal of releasing/inactivating the trigger points and relieving pain. Preliminary research supports that dry needling improves pain control, reduces muscle tension, and facilitates an accelerated return to active rehabilitation.

Dry needling should not be confused with acupuncture. They are two different things. Acupuncture uses points that lie along the body's meridians or energy channels, while myofascial dry needling uses points that are defined by western based anatomy and physiology.

Dry needling is currently available at 4 Commonwealth locations, Fairfax, Reston, Springfield and Tysons. It does require a prescription from a physician.
