I have received several needle treatments over the years and have never had any issues.  This technique, and the way VSI has performed it, has always helped my recovery time.  With using dry needling, they have been able to relax my muscles so that I can rebuild the area and be stronger than I was before.
I support dry needling for physical therapists based on my experiences as well as the feedback I've heard from the multiple referrals I've sent to Virginia Spine Institute.
