As a PT working in a rural clinic in Kansas, this tool in my "toolbox" has allowed me to safely and effectively provide improvements in motor dysfunction and pain for those with limited function and reduced quality of life. For many it has been the only resource to help aid in significant relief. Please don't hinder our patients and members of the community that many benefit from this safe and effective procedure.

I have had amazing results with Dry-needling in the treatment of my chronic pain. More so than any other treatment I have tried

As a PT, I utilize Dry Needling every day working in a rural outpatient clinic. Dry Needling has been an effective treatment for many of my patients providing a means to reduce pain and help in correcting dysfunctional movement patterns.

In my medical practice, I focus entirely on chronic pain. The mainstay of treatment is physical therapy, and success often depends on needling. I prefer to have my patients treated by ONLY therapists who needle.

Dry needling has been an amazing adjunct to my PT practice. It has changed lives for people who have sought for help for years. Given the anatomy and physiology training we get with a masters or doctorate in physical therapy (and most practitioners are graduating with a doctorate now) we are more than adequately prepared for this continuing training to advance our individual practices. Not allowing PTs to use this in practice is a great disservice to patients who desperately need something that makes a change in their lives.

The only similarity between dry needling and acupuncture is the needle itself. PT's use a completly different roadmap for treatment of MSK conditions than acupuncturists use for general health maladies.

Dry needling has greatly enhanced my ability to help patients feel better faster, helping to decrease their overall number of visits, and get them back to doing what they need to do more quickly.

PT in Utah that dry needles. The patient should come first and PTs can really help patients with dry needling within their scope of practice. I have seen it first hand.
