In support of dry needling
 

Dry needling is an effective treatment that provides relief with pinpoint precision in a manner other forms of physical therapy may not be able to accomplish. As long as it is done by a trained professional, it should be an available treatment option to patients. All forms of medical treatment involve some level of risk to the patient, but Virginians should be trusted to make their own informed decisions when it comes to their health.
