In favor of Dry Needling
 

 I cannot say enough about how, as a patient, dry needling and Eric Wijtmans has helped me feel incrediby better!

When I started, I was in incredible pain all over.  I had over 50 trigger point areas.  I was not able to conduct daily activities.  I had had pain getting dressed and walking, period. I had to get dry needled weekly.

Now, a year later, I get dry needled once a month and my trigger points are less than 10.  The procedures helped me so that I am able to massage irritated trigger points myself before they become inflamed and before my next scheduled appointment.  

Thank you Eric and your team for making me feel normal again!!!
