Dry Needling
 

I have severe neck injuries which result in both neck and shoulder pain.

 

I have tried Chiropractic, Massage, Tens Unit, Therapy Cane, Medi Cupping, Cervical Traction and even Salves and Creams. None of those provided long term relief.

One year ago I started Dry Needling by my Physical Therapist. Dry Needling has been the only modality that has provided me with any relief.

My PT has been trained and certified in Dry Needling.I feel that I am in great hands.

The ability to perform Dry Needling should be left with trained and certified PT's.

Sincerely

Carl Smith
