Dry Needling
Physical therapists at select UnityPoint locations are trained in myofascial trigger point dry needling. Dry needling is a procedure in which a solid filament needle is inserted into the skin and muscle directly at a myofascial trigger point to interrupt or break the pain cycle. Headaches, chronic pain, carpal tunnel syndrome and muscle overuse are a few examples of common conditions treated with dry needling.Dry Needling

Pre-Registration
Patients will need to pre-register before their appointment by calling (319) 369-8109.
Therapy Plus uses a text messaging system to send an appointment reminder to patients at 24-hours and one-hour prior to their appointment time.
Please arrive 15 minutes early on your first day of therapy to complete necessary paperwork. You can print our past medical history form, fill it out, and bring it with you to your first appointment:
- Complete this form if you are a UnityPoint Health patient
- Complete this form if you have not received care from a UnityPoint Health provider
For the medication section, we can make copies of your medication lists, so you don't need to write them on the form. Helpful resource: download the Medication Matters personal health record to record your medications.
Scheduling & Cancellations
To schedule or cancel an appointment call your clinic. (All clinics are open Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.).
Please stay home if you have a fever, cough, sore throat or any other symptoms of illness. Please call to reschedule your appointment.
You can also sign up for MyUnityPoint electronic health record. With MyUnityPoint, you can view and/or cancel appointments, as well as correspond with your therapist and/or scheduling staff through this platform.
What to Expect
Please allow an hour for your appointment. Subsequent appointments will be 30-45 minutes in length. Your physical therapist will discuss your medical history, the reason for your visit, limitations, and a plan of care to help reach your goals. If you have questions or concerns about your first visit, please call your clinic location.
What to Wear & Bring
Wear comfortable clothing and shoes, also bring any braces or devices you use for walking. Items you should bring with you include:
- Insurance card
- Photo identification
- List of current medications
- Order from physician's office if given to you to bring
- Your personal calendar, as your physical therapist will want to set up future appointments
- If you are being seen for work injury, you will need to bring your case manager's contact information if you have a case manager

“I have been going to Therapy Plus for over seven years and have always had great results.”
“I love Therapy Plus’s downtown location! For over 15 years, I've used them for different reasons.”
“Very friendly and helpful staff.”
“I love coming here anytime I need physical therapy. I'm always greeted with a warm smile and cheery conversation at the front desk and am promptly taken to a curtained bay where the wait is quite short. I absolutely love my physical therapist. I always request her as we have developed a wonderful working relationship. She is very knowledgeable and truly cares about you as an individual, not just as another patient. She always listens attentively and is a wonderful problem solver. She is very encouraging, always applauding every step forward and accomplishment no matter how small. Thank all of you for all you do to make every experience positive!”
