Yes to Dry Needling!
 

As an employee in a physical therapy office, I have seen tremendous results from Dry Needling preformed on a patient. When preformed by a liscened physical therapist, it has assisted many patients throughout their rehab process.

As a patient who had been needled multiple times by a liscense physical therapist, it greatly enhanced by rehab process. I had a peroneal tendon repair down to my ankle, and with the assistance of dry needling I was able to get better much quicker. My range of motion improved, certain exercises I was struggling with improved greatly without any pain!

Vote 'yes' to Dry Needling!!!
