QL Dry Needling in Columbia SC | Low Back Pain Treatment Guide

Dealing with deep low back or flank pain that doesn’t respond to stretching or massage?
The quadratus lumborum (QL) is a common driver of stubborn low back pain—especially pain that wraps around the flank or worsens with sitting, standing, or side bending. At Vertex PT Specialists in Columbia, SC, we offer dry needling to the QL as part of a targeted, one-on-one treatment plan.

Dry needling the QL requires precision. This deep muscle lies near the kidneys and lungs, and effective treatment demands anatomical expertise. Our Doctors of Physical Therapy are highly trained in this technique to ensure both safety and results.

• Deep low back or flank pain
• Pain that worsens with prolonged sitting or standing
• Asymmetric posture or side bending restriction
• Pain after lifting, twisting, or repetitive bending
