Recently the Governor signed a draft of regulations to govern the use of dry needling by physical therapists. The regulations are in a period of public comment. I would like to put forth my support of these regulations as currently written. The practice of dry needling is of great clinical utility and physical therapists are uniquely well suited to be able to incoprorate this practice into their clinical paradigm. Physical therapists work to help people move better and dry needling can provide great relief of musculoskeletal deficits that limit moving well. I work under the federal scope of practice in a military setting and use dry needling on a daily basis. Since being trained in this skill I have found it to be an important part of my toolset to help my patients move better and feel better. My patients consistently ask for this treatment and recognize the dramatic positive effect that it can have.
