I have been diagnosed with Chronic Pain Syndrome/Piriformis Syndrome/Chronic Radiculopathy and Dry Needling is the only non-invasive treatment with no long term side effects that work! When you have doctors that can not explain why my muscles are in a perpetual state of tightness, with medicine helping some; dry needling is what really helps to release those trigger points and allow the muscles to return to a normal state. I have tried going without dry needling for 9 months and found that I was in more paind. I resumed dry needling four years ago and have been coming twice a month ever since. When you suffer from Chronic Pain, having a form of treatment that allows immediate release from that pain is necessary and appreciated. I totally support PT's who've had proper training in dry needling procedures as I believe this form of treatment should be available to patients who need it. Thank you!
