I am a PT who does NOT do dry needling. However I had a hip issue that I worked on for many years with out progress. I saw Ortho, Pain management, acupuncture, other PT approaches etc.  Only after I had treatment with dry needling did it resolve and within 1 month.  I have since sent many of my patients to PT who do dry needling and can tell you for the correctly selected patients, there is nothing like the help they get.
