Anyone tried Dry Needling or Acupuncture for Pain or Neuropathy?

I was a skeptic, but now I am a believer in dry needling.The PT takes her time finding the trigger spots, and we work as a team, evaluating the effectiveness of each needle insertion. When she hits one just right, I actually feel the twitching of the tension release. After each session, I feel great! These trigger spots are getting better with a steady routine of mild exercises, manual stimulation of the trigger points, and dry needling. I have used all my PT insurance benefits for the year, so have to pay out of pocket right now. I wish I had discovered Results Physiotherapy, but oh well - it’s all trial and error.

I agree with you completely. I was diagnosed with neuropathy due to soleous sling syndrome. It’s “kind of” rare but a hard one to get diagnosed. I’ve been going to my dry needle/chiropractor for my symptoms and it has absolutely worked to ease the pain. My trigger spots will shoot to my feet when that needle goes in and then it’s all released and I feel wonderful after. Unfortunately the only fix for this is surgery to release the nerve entrapment but I am excited (and nervous) that this will work and I can get my old life back. Please for anyone who hasn’t tried dry needling give it a shot. It has helped me tolerate this pain
