Fully support Physical Therapist use of Dry Needling
 

The use of dry needling in Physical Therapist and Acupuncture address different needs and should be available to patients in both specialties. Dy needling as part of a comprehensive physical therapy regimen as prescribed by our orthopedic surgeon has proven extremely successful for muscle pain and range of motion for myself and my husband.
