YES to Dry Needling
 

 I have a great PT that has done dry needling on me as part of my post surgery treatment plan. I have had multiple surgeries over the years and dry needling has been an essential tool in speeding my recovery. My physical therapist understands my body, my injury, and what it will take to get me back in the arena. There is no way, ZERO, that a accupunturist, witch doctor, can provide the same type or level of treatment that a PT can.
