Just because people use some of the same tools doesn't mean that they do the same thing. For instance with Acupuncture, there is a weight loss program, improved memory program, and others that Dr. Phan can do. No one at PT will use dryneedling to help you improve memory or lose weight. At PT very specific issues are targeted and muscles are minuplated for a specific goal; for me that was pain management. In Eastern Medicine the idea is that "Acupuncture encourages the body to do what the body natrualy does". That is not what is being done at a PT session; again specific manipulation for a specific goal.
I have seen http://www.chinesemedicinedoctor.us in Vienna. Dr Fan is AWESOME and I would reccomend him to other people.
I have also had dry needling done at in Ashburn at Restore PT and Wellness. They are awesome and I would reccomend them too.
