What is the soonest it is safe to perform needling for scar management? I have a patient with significantly adherent scar tissue limiting progression of his shoulder. He is nearly 8 weeks out currently.

Hi Krista

Surgical scars should be well healed before dry needling the scar or the immediate surrounding tissue.

Consult with the surgeon if the patient is still under the care of the surgeon, which I am guessing at 8 weeks post surgery he still is.

Continue with all other scar management options to optimize the healing and tissue quality.
