Abstract: Hip and knee replacement surgeries are among the orthopedic procedures, which can result in muscle imbalances and alignment issues in the pelvis after surgery. These issues may cause pain and functional limitations potentially requiring therapeutic interventions. Dry needling, a method that involves inserting needles into muscles to target trigger points, has shown clinical effectiveness in treating these muscle related problems that lead to postoperative pain. This article delves into the use of needling for managing alignment issues following hip and knee replacement surgeries. It also discusses the mechanics of function after surgery. The potential muscle imbalances that can cause complications. By reviewing existing literature and clinical experiences this article aims to offer an insight into how dry needling can be utilized as a treatment option for pelvic alignment problems.
