In most cases, a physiotherapist is not authorized to administer injections as part of their standard practice. Physiotherapists are trained to focus on physical rehabilitation techniques such as exercises, manual therapy, and modalities like heat or cold therapy.
However, in some countries or under specific regulations, physiotherapists with advanced training or certifications may be permitted to perform certain procedures, such as dry needling, which involves inserting thin needles into muscles or tissues.
