Ok so maybe it’s me, but I find it to be quite painful. HOWEVER, it doesn’t last very long….60 seconds maybe? And I cannot believe the results. I have Chronic pain that’s distracting and debilitating. I have only had her do it twice and I’m sitting here now thinking “I literally think I feel no pain”. The site itself is sore for quite a few days but who cares??!! Freaking magic.

I quit taking opiods . With ‘ibs’ it was a good idea to do. I still have pain. But, I’m in charge of my life, now. My oldest son has had his “dry needling” 2times and he is so excited about being pain free. I would like to give it a try. I’m 67, with hip pain, shoulder pain, retired hairdresser pain

Hello Steve,
I used Athletico several years ago and knew it would be my choice to use them again. I am so glad I have. I have great experiences here. I have 2 area issues they are working on. The right hip and the lumbar in my back. To make a long story short, I had my first session of Dry Needling done by Claire. I normally go to the pain center at Barnes Hospital and have the injections on either side of my spine for the back and then another round of injections for my lower back. I have been going since 2017. In all that time I have never heard of Dry Needling and was apprehensive. I am glad I did the procedure. I can say that after the first session on June 15, I jumped for joy, sang, cried and kicked up my heels. I am a little sore but PAIN FREE. I even postpones a scheduled pain injection that I scheduled for Monday, June 19. I would rather have pain free needles without the use of medicine than have a more intrusive procedure WITH medicine and NOT feel any real results until hours or weeks. If I were you, I would really give Dry Needling a go. I think you will be amazed. Wish you luck which ever you decide.

Good morning. I have been going to PT for about 10 weeks, not every week, but altogether about 15 sessions so far. The issue I have been dealing with is an injured hip flexor.

The therapist has suggested I try dry needling, but I am not so sure. I do feel much better as of late and have been doing the stretching exercises and walking daily.

I feel I should stay on the program I am on and skip the dry needling part. Any opinion from you would be much appreciated.

Thank you,
Steve
