As a person with severe degenerative disc disease, scoliosis and multiple spinal fusions, dry trigger point needling has been a vital part of my recovery.  It has given me relief to a great degree, thus allowing me to actually benefit from physical therapy.  Prior to receiving dry TPN, my body was literally too stiff and muscle too contracted to access the muscular function to really recive any meaningful or lasting benfit from even aggressive PT.  It must be allowed for people like me.
