In Favor of Dry Needling
 

Many PT patients have seen significant improvements in function through the use of dry needling. PT's have extensive education in anatomy and are required to have additional training and education, post earning their clinical doctorate, in order to practice dry needling. PT's are given the proper education, and continuing education, in order to provide this safe and effective practice.
