The time spent on dry needling is not necessarily the length of your whole appointment. Please confirm the scheduled visit length with Wichita Physical Therapy Group rather than assuming that every session takes 15 minutes.

What else happens during a visit?

Before dry needling, a provider reviews your history and assesses whether the treatment is appropriate. Dry needling is commonly used within a broader care plan rather than as the only part of treatment, as described in Cleveland Clinic’s overview. A visit may therefore involve discussion, assessment, treatment, and instructions for afterward.

The schedule you need to plan around is the appointment’s total duration, including any arrival or paperwork instructions—not just the time a needle is in place.

Questions to ask when booking

• How much time should I allow for this appointment?
• Is this an initial evaluation or a follow-up visit?
• Should I arrive early or complete forms beforehand?
• Will dry needling be considered after the evaluation, or has it already been included in my treatment plan?
• Which Wichita location should I attend?

If you have a firm deadline for leaving, mention it before scheduling. Do not plan to shorten an assessment or safety discussion to fit an assumed treatment time.

Prepare your questions

Bring a current medication list and relevant treatment instructions. Ask the clinician to explain the proposed benefit, alternatives, risks, and expected after-effects before treatment begins. You can also discuss what activities are appropriate afterward.

If you are comparing appointments, clarify the quoted cost and what it includes. A brief treatment component and a full evaluation are not interchangeable services.
