Benefits of dry needling
 

Over the past five years I have received dry needling treatments in conjunction with physical therapy (PT) in my hip, neck, shoulder, and elbow. While PT was helpful, nothing provided immediate relief like dry needling. Since insurance doesn't cover needling I am stuck with the extra cost, but will gladly pay the cost for the immediate relief dry needling provides. Please continue to allow physicians to administer dry needling.'
