Fully Support TPDN by Physical Therapists.
 

I fully support Trigger Point Dry Needling as performed by Physical Therapists. I have sustained several neck and back injuries over the course of my military career and only recently with Dry Needling has my pain begun to diminish.  This is pain that previously could only be abated with narcotics.  Physical Therapists are the medical community's rehabilitation professionals.  Denying them a tool that helps so many people return to a pain-free fully functional level of health should be unthinkable.
