Dr Nuha one of the best DPT's in the southwest suburbs! She truly is a master at her craft. After 3 knee surgeries, I had no idea my hips were shifted. This eventually caused what's called pudendal nerve entrapment and let me tell ya, that was NO FUN! Dr Nuha relieved my symptoms after just ONE SESSION! After that I had weekly dry needle treatments for a month or so and with the exercises she provided my symptoms haven't returned since! She's amazing, I highly recommend!!

Dr. Hasan was AMAZING! I hurt my hip/back 2 days before my wedding to the point of not being able to bend down and in severe pain sitting and laying down. She was able to get me in last minute for an assessment and dry needling. I was sore for a few days after but was perfect for my wedding! I ended up going on my honeymoon pain free and I feel brand new!!! I have zero pain, and this is the fastest i’ve ever healed. Same thing happened to me several years ago but took 9 months to heal. After Dr. Hasan’s treatment I felt good as new in about a week. Will definitely be coming back for maintenance!!!

I was very hesitant to try dry needling, but my lower back was giving me so much pain that I desperately needed a treatment that will actually help ease the pain almost instantly and also help with preventing the pain from returning or getting worse.I am so glad that I was introduced to Dr. Hasan! She was great with adressing my concerns and explaining the course of treatment. She knew exactly what to look for and the places that she should needle in order to give the most benefit out of each session. The day after my first treatment, I woke up surprised to find that I couldn't feel any pain on my lower back anymore! I followed the exercises/stretches that she gave me to help maintain my back and I didn't have to return for another session for a month (to also address another problem area).I would definitely recommend giving dry needling with Dr. Hasan a try!!!!

I just got my first session of Dry Needling with Dr. Nuha Hasan at Ascend Physical Therapy and I was amazed with the results. The pain was totally gone right after the session which only took less than an hour.And I’ve been suffering from this chronic lower back pain for more than 20 years.And would like to thank Dr. Nuha Hasan, she is very professional and friendly too.

First off, there are not enough good things to say about Nuha with Ascend Physical Therapy. I struggled with stubborn myofasical pain in my upper back for approximately 6 years. I did massage therapy, tens units, you name it. I thought the only way out would eventually be surgery. Then I started doing some research into dry needling. Once I read some testimonials I couldn't book my appointment fast enough. Before I arrived I was so nervous. I was trusting my body with someone I've never met, with a new procedure I've never done. Needless to say, I was quickly put at ease the moment I met Nuha. Her infectious energy and kindness made my appointment so enjoyable. She explained what the dry needling would entail and I couldn't wait to get started. Fast forward to being on the table, she explained everything she was doing, while she was doing it. This made it very apparent with not only how knowledgeable she is, but how passionate she is! She cares about her patients' care and that is what was so important to me! She cared about ME! Once I was done, it was a feeling I can only describe as "hurts so good". I was sore but in a good way. A few days later when the soreness wore off I felt like a new woman. The mobility in my back and neck with no pain was almost unbelievable! It was then I realized I was hooked! I knew it would take a few sessions to conquer the stubborn myofascial pain, so another appointment was booked! This time I was so excited because I knew what to expect! She focused on my scalene muscles in the front of my neck, which was connected to the muscle knots in my back- WHO KNEW?! Not I! It just goes to show how knowledgeable she is about the human body! I was so thankful with how caring she was and how determined she was to help me get rid of my back pain! Its been a few days since my last session. You guys- the myofascial pain that I have struggled with for 6 years is GONE! I started crying with relief. Like I said in the beginning, there are not enough good things to say about Nuha and the relief she has given me through dry needling! Even though my back pain is gone, I cant wait to be dry needled again for my anxiety!

Dr. Hasan is amazing! Her dry needling technique has been a real game changer for me. No other therapy has provided the results even one of her sessions has given me. I cannot recommend this enough. Anyone suffering muscle pain will definitely benefit from her therapy. I wish I started with her sooner.

Dr. Hasan has truly changed my life. I have struggled with horrible pain and trigger points in my neck and upper back for about 10 years. I saw countless doctors, nurse practitioners, and other physical therapists who dismissed my pain and offered no solutions. Meanwhile, my pain worsened to the point that I almost couldn't use my right arm.When I initially reached out to Nuha to schedule my first appointment, she responded within just a few hours. She's incredibly responsive and accommodating, and I was able to see her within less than a week! She did a thorough hands-on evaluation of my issues and immediately knew what was wrong and how to help. I felt a massive relief of symptoms even after just the first session. After a few short weeks, I had such a drastic decrease in pain, tightness, and trigger points that I was honestly in disbelief. Nuha has been performing dry needling on my problem areas for a few months now and my quality of life has dramatically improved.Nuha is hands down the most caring, empathetic, and knowledgeable clinician I have ever met. She truly listens and is passionate about helping her patients. If you want to improve your life, you need to see Nuha!

I have suffered from chronic neck pain most of my adult life due to cervical herniated discs. Over the past 10 yrs the pain worsened and so I tried shots, physical therapy and 4 years ago I was introduced to dry needling which is the only therapy that has provided relief for extended periods of time. Because of this pandemic and having to work from home my pain level has worsened and it was no longer convenient to return downtown for therapy. I am BEYOND GRATEFUL to have found Ascend Physical Therapy. Not only is it closer to home but I can truly say Nuha listens to you. I have seen many doctors and therapists and I have been describing the same symptoms over and over again. Nuha is the only one that discovered that not only do I have cervical herniated discs but the majority of my symptoms and pain were not stemming from that problem. After the 1st appt where Nuha evaluated me, she explained to me that the majority of my pain was due to thoracic outlet syndrome. After only two sessions I felt tremendous improvement in mobility and was able to have pain relief. Nuha clearly knows what she's doing!!

I suffer from chronic lumbar and cervical strain that limits my mobility and creates stiffness. I got tired of going to the same physical therapy and decided to looks up dry needling, that’s when I discovered Dr Nahu Hasan. I reached out and she responded very quickly and I was able to set up an appointment the same week. She is very observant and compassionate when it comes to listening and actually finding those trigger points. After my first session I was sore but had better mobility than when I first arrived. She follows where the muscles and pain are and doesn’t just focus on the “problem area”. Seeing her is in my weekly routine to improve my music strain and stiffness, you do also have to keep up strengthening those weak muscles that cause the problems. That is another thing that makes her amazing, she looks out for your well being and also provides guidance on maintaining your improvements.

I have chronic sinus pain and was sick and tired of taking meds to control it. I decided to try dry needling..... needless to say the best decision I have made for myself. The pain is gone only after 3 sessions. Nuha was patient, informative and knew the spots to hit that would help me in the long run. Thank you for helping me and educating me in taking a natural approach would help me more than any meds could ever do!

So I want to start off this review by saying when I first heard about dry needling I was scared. I thought that instead of relief I would be introduced to even more pain, but man was I so wrong. Dr. Hasan explained to me step by step where and why she places each and every needle and that was really comforting. Knowing that a professional who has done her research and went through several specialized trainings to get to where she’s at today made me feel safe knowing she’s the one inserting the dry needles in me. I came in with pretty severe knots throughout my back since I workout a lot and whenever I finish my dry needling sessions I feel good as new! The only downside to dry needling is that I have to take 2-3 rest days from the gym haha, but for the relief I’m getting it’s totally worth it! For anyone looking to relieve themselves from any type of physical pain they may be receiving I totally recommend Dr. Hasan, honestly the easiest 5/5 review I could ever give to a person.

Dr Hasan is very friendly, caring, and dedicated to her work. I can’t say enough nice things her. She helped me after my shoulder surgery. She has helped me so much with my pain, strength and movement. I also had dry needling treatments in my shoulder and other parts of my body which did me wonder.I’m doing great, my shoulder is as good as new thanks to Dr Hasan, my miracle healer.

I do recommend dry needling for anyone who has constant pain without relief. It works wonders. I have tendinitis and one time session helped so much. Couple more sessions with exercises will take care of the problem. Dr Nuha is wonderful and very informative and will help you do steps to get rid of your pain.
