PT and dry needling, Yes.
 

Having had DN as part of my of physical therapy program has reduced my pain and improved ability to move tremendously. Not being able to have it done at a PT Office and instead having to make separate appointments for accupunture is irresponible, and not to mention costly, time consuming and does not tie the needed expertise,  options and program together.   We need to have physical therapists  continue to have this training and skill as part of the program for the patients recovery.   Patients needs should be put first.
