Support Dry Needling
 

When I had my low back pain I participated in physical therapy was helping, but my muscles were still stiff and tight no matter what I did. It was suggested that I try dry needling. Despite my fear of needles I opted to give it a dry. My physical therapist did wonderful! He walked me through the process and explain in great detail how dry needling works and how it would work for me. Following dry needling my back pain improved TREMEDOUSLY! I had confidence in my therapist which sought me to accept his dry needling offer. I would absloutely seek dry needling again from him as a physical therapist! Please do not take away the rights of Physical Therapist in VA to perform dry needling it is very benefical to patients.
