Case report: A 42-year old patient reported pain in her left shoulder. A series of 6 dry needling sessions were performed, twice a week, for a period of 3 weeks. Prior to, and immediately after, the therapy a subjective pain assessment using the VAS pain rating scale and an assessment of the degree of disability using the Modified Laitinen Pain Questionnaire were performed.
