Dry Point Needling by PT's trained in Dr Janet Travel's work
 

I have had both Acupuncture and Dry Point needling and there is no comparison in the long term healing of body structure and form. When it's done by a therapist trained in the Travel Technique, the SPASM in the muscle lets go allowing the body to revert to a more improved posture eliminating pain !! Acupuncture is very relaxing I give you that but it has never changed My congenital Scoliosis.

When I was in my 20's many of my friends bought rocking Chairs because President Kennedy had one prescribed by Dr Janet Travel who used Dry Point Needling on this President. MayI say, my husband was a dentist in NJ. and most of our friends were in the medical and dental professions.We all saw how JFK could not have been president had he not had this Tx.

Take this from whence it comes and I hope to G-D this Tx will continue and proliferate.
