Summary
This study looked at whether adding dry needling (a technique where thin needles are inserted into muscle knots) to standard physical therapy helps people recover faster after shoulder stabilization surgery. 39 adults aged 18-40 who had the surgery were followed for 6 months. Researchers measured shoulder movement, pain, and function. The goal was to see if dry needling speeds up recovery compared to physical therapy alone.
