My Testimony about Dry Needling
After earning my Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree from Emory University, I felt compelled to further my training to acquire skill sets that would move me into an elite category of Physical Therapists. As my research ensued, I happened across testimony of what seemed to be impossible results from procedure known as dry needling. These claims intrigued me to the point of enrolling myself into the dry needling certification program. During the certification training I volunteered to participate as patient. I was then experiencing pain and limited range of motion in my lower back. After 3 years of administering my learned techniques I could only bend to the point of my fingertips touching my mid-shin area on myself. Skeptical of any progress to be made I demonstrated my limited range of motion to the class and hopped up on the table ready to be the next human pin cushion. The treatment consisted of needles being placed into the areas responsible for my lower back pain. The needle placement was surprising as it targeted compensatory areas rather than just the point of pain. I experienced mild achiness, soreness, and the sensation of light cramping. Once the needles were removed it was the moment of truth. I stood up from the table and touched my toes for the first time in 3 long years. I wasn’t prepared for this immediate and amazing result. On that day I embraced dry needling as an incredibly effective and revolutionary physical therapy treatment. Dry needling has become a critical and necessary tool in my practice. It allows me to provide immediate, effective, and lasting results to my clients. Please call to setup an appointment for Dry Needling Indianapolis.
