Please give practitioners of physical therapy the legal regulatory option to employ trigger point dry needling when treating their patients. I speak from personal experience. I have received dry needling from two physical therapists in the Richmond area and it expedited my treatment immeasurably. I know that I would not be as mobile or flexible as I am today, with as little pain as I experience, if dry needling had not been an option for me. It is safe when a delivered in a therapeutic environment by a properly trained practitioner. I support the use of dry needling in the state of Virginia wholeheartedly.
