In favor of dry needling
 

I suffer from Chronic Myofascial Pain and fibromyalgia. I cannot take the medications that would help because I am allergic to them. Dry needling was the only option I left and it has been a life saver. I now have 3-4 pretty good days each week because of it. I have recommended it to many of my friends that suffer with fibromyalgia and will continue to be an advocate for it every chance I get.
