Dry Needling
Dry Needling is an additional modality Arlington Physical Therapy provides that can be added to any plan of care.
Patient Review:
“My pain before PT was preventing me from doing daily activities. It was 8 out of 10 on the pain scale. I feel great now. Jordan and crew pinpointed the troubled area and went to work. Within the first week, I felt relief. Now after 6 weeks, I’m pretty much pain-free. I highly recommend the Dry Needling if applicable. It works!” – Shawn C. 7/22/20
