dry needle therapy
 

To Whom It May Concern:

I have suffered for  over  20 years from what I thought was a problem with my ears and after going to serveral ENTs I was referred to Erik Wijtman for dry needle therapy. with in the first three sessions the tension on the muscles in my neck that were causing the ear pain started to ease. I am confident with furthertreartment I wil finally be fully relieved of this pain. I truely believe in this form of therapy is safe and works  and think that countless of other pain suffers can benefit from it with out the use of narcotic pain kilers that Dr.s are now so quick to prescribe and so many patients are now addicted too. More therapists should be trained in this form of treatment like Erik Wijtman to perform this procedure so that more pain suffers can benefit from a drug free treatment.
