support dry needling
 

Physical therapists are the most qualified medical professionals in the areas function and integrations of the musculoskeletal system.  Additional training and education after graduatng from a PT school, gives a physical therapist the extra education needed to safely and effectively perform dry needling.  The technique is a very effective modality for releasing muscle tightness and pain quickly and easily.
