Dry Needling
 

I have seen the great responses patients have had to dry needling. I myself do not do dry needling but have sent patients many times for this treatment because of the positive results.

I also have been a patient. AFter months of traditional exercises, manual therapy, etc for an extremely tight hip. I consulted our dry needling therapist and the results were amazing. In 2 weeks I had full ROM and back to activities. That was 2 years ago and still no problems!!!

It is time to put patients first and stop any turf battles. This is an effective treatment adminstered by trained professinal dealing with musculoskeltal problems.
