Although CRS is generally managed medically, we observed areas of muscular tenderness in this case, which were effectively managed with dry needling. Rehabilitative providers may consider screening CRS patients for muscular impairments that may be modifiable with dry needling. Further research should be performed to determine whether dry needling has a role in the management of CRS.
