I am thankful for dry needling
 

Dry needing has greatly improved the quality of my life. I am only 54 years old. Due to many years of physical strain on my lower back it had become weak. Many times over the past years I had been bedridden, due to my back and unable to do simple things in my life. The simple task of going to the bathroom was incomprehensible, at those times. After many prescriptions of pain medications, prednisone, and muscle relaxers, which made me feel terrible and unable to live life as normal, a doctor sent me to physical therapy for dry needling. I cannot express how much it has changed my life. No longer am I in pain. The dry needling has improved my back tremendously. My back is stronger than it has been in many years. I am so thankful for an alternative to prescription drugs. I have many things I want to do in my life and because of dry needling I can do them drug free and pain free.
