Dry Needling has helped me remain functional despite severe chronic migraines
 

I have been getting TDN with Annetta Haddox at PRO PT in Wnchester for almost ten years.  The relief I get from this treatment is unparalleled with any other preventative treatments, including medication.  I continually recommend this treatment to others with migraines and with any other muscular problems.  I tried acupuncture and this treatment is entirely different in outcome.  Physical Therapists in VA should be allowed to practice TDN after obtaining the specialized training.  My quality of life would be diminished if I didn't have access to this treatment.
