I am a practicing Physical Therapist in private practive in Virginia. I am not credentialed to perform Dry Needling. A few of my associates in our practice have been incorporating Dry Needling in their practice. They have found this modality to be a valuable adjunct with certain patients who have not responded well to conventional modalities.I have referred several of my patients for this procedure with excellent outcomes. Physical Therapist have the proper educational background and training with Clinical anatomy for evaluation and modality treatment interventions including manual therapy to perform Dry Needling. I agree that additional continuing education and certification should be a requirement for the PT to incorpaorate this into their practice. Dry Needling should continue to be an adjunct modality offered  by these Physical Therapist to treat pain and dysfunction.
