physical therapists provide results with dry needling
 

I have received dry needling between 10-20x by a physical therapist and have had extremely positive results, which I hadn't been able to get with various other therapeutic methods. I persoonally am not a fan or a user of accupuncture, and would only get these results from a trained, medically oriented source such as a physical therapist.  Please let them continue to provide this resource which would not be as medically oriented from an accupuncturist.  I have confidence in the specialized training of physical therapists, who are the most reputable profession to deal with injuries and musculoskeletal disorders.
