Yes to Dry Needling (Solutions PT)
 

My physiscal therapist from Solutions PT in Alexandria, VA performed dry needling and helped me regain strength after two knee surgeries.  With a doctorate in Physical Therapy, he Andy Solirorokis) earned my full confidence and respect.  Having a skilled practitioner incorporate as a component of reheabilitation was easy and aided in my recuperation.  I doubt I would have sought such treatment that was not incorporated into my rehabilitation by someone who knows my medical history and who sees me regularly.  Medical care can be fragmented but dry needling by a physical therapist ensures the work is done by a licensed professional and is the best interest of a recuperating patient.
