Dry Needling gave me my life back!
 

Dry needling has changed my life! I came to my physical therapist with back and hip pain, both of which have been cured through dry needling. I was a student and had to drop out of college due to chronic, intense pain that stumped four previous physical therapists. Unlike acupuncture, dry needling is tailored to my needs, so the treatment is more affective for my body and my pain. Dry needling is INSTANT relief every time. Several years later, I am returning to school. I credit a large part of that to dry needling, as it is the only treatment I've found to alleviate my pain and help my overworked muscles.
