Support Dry Needling!
 

Dry needling is an amazing tool that physical therapists can use to help a large variety of patient populations. Not only has it been shown in the literature to have positive effects, but there are also very few adverse events that have occured due to dry needling. This tool is the quickest way to relieve myofascial trigger points that severely limit functioning of many patients.
