I have been fortunate to have access to dry needling by a physical therapist for the past several months which has greatly helped with my muscular back pain. I would hate to see this form of treatment restricted or eliminated and potentially not covered by insurance. I have also had accupuncture in the past and while I found that helpful for other things I feel that it is a very different treatment. Dry needling for me is a great addition to other treatment I am receiving from my physical therapist.
