Dry Needling is gaining wide popularity as a technique to relieve musculoskeletal pain. It has rarely been used to treat Supraspinatus Calcific tendinopathy. Most treatment techniques focus around Subacromial Corticosteroid needle decompression to improve the outcomes of Supraspinatus Calcification. Our study observed the Elastographic changes along with the Radiographic changes in the Calcification before and after the Dry Needling sessions.
