Complete Support for Dry Needling by Physical Therapists
 
I would like to express my complete support for the use of dry needling by physical therapists. I have been receiving dry needling therapy for severe muscle pain related to nerve damage that I sustained during injury and surgery. Dry needling has been the main source of relief of my pain. My physical therapist is second to none. He is one of the most professional, and knowledgeable individuals I know, and I trust him more than any other. I ask that you please not take this treatment away from the hands of these professionals. It has saved me from a life of pain and discomfort.
