Support dry needling
 

I 100% support dry needling. I've had my physical therapist perform this on my neck and shoulder since 2004. This helps with pain management (I do not take any prescription drugs for pain) and my range of motion.  I would much rather have needles once to twice a month than be dependent on prescription medicines the rest of my life doing more bodily harm.  Please do not make a senseless decision, please continue with dry needling.
