Dry Needling Isn’t “Evidence-Based” — Here’s Why It’s Hurting Physical Therapy

Dry needling. Evidence-based practice. “It works.”
But what does it actually change—and does it fix the root cause?

In this episode, Dr. Rhett Polka breaks down why dry needling is being used as a symptom-chasing shortcut, how evidence-based practice can be used to prove both sides, and why clinicians should anchor their decisions in physiology + neuromuscular science instead of trendy tools.

If you’re a DPT student, new grad, clinic owner, or seasoned clinician who’s tired of feeling stuck between “research says…” and “patients feel better,” this one’s for you.

In this you’ll learn:

Why short-term pain relief ≠ true clinical outcomes

The difference between being a clinician vs. doing “stuff” to patients

Why Dr. Polka prioritizes physiology-based reasoning over modality culture

What happens when PT becomes a “tool profession” (and how to reverse it)
