Yes to dry needling at my PT
 

Dry needling is a beneficial, and I would even say, necessary service that should be offered by Physical therapists in Virginia. The treatment trasnformed my son's back muscle issues, following a surgery on his knee. Because of the surgery, he gait was off and his back suffered. Dry needling solved the issues in minutes - rather than days or weeks. Having it as a service at my physical therapist is appropriate and complementary to other treatments offered.
