Members shared mixed experiences with dry needling for pain relief, with some finding it effective for quick relief in their worst problem areas, though the discomfort and temporary nature of results meant they needed ongoing sessions to maintain benefits. Several members described their physical therapy routines, which often combined dry needling with massage, chiropractic adjustments, and exercises, though one member felt disappointed by minimal hands-on treatment and questioned whether a home TENS unit might be just as effective. A recurring theme was the search for lasting relief through various modalities including Botox injections, at-home TENS units, and percussion massagers, with members acknowledging that consistent treatment is often necessary but not always sustainable or accessible.

This massager is great, I purchased one a few months back and it is very powerful with 4 setting light to deep massage with or with out heat. This is a wonderful way to pamper yourself daily. It is designed so that you can massage any area of your body without needing help. Cause we all know how helpful family can be, right........:o/

I have had dry needling. Sessions were an overall assessment based on my feedback and examination, adjustments if needed done by the PT who has postgraduate training in chiro techniques, then dry needling then 40 min of massage. Feel better for a few days in the worst areas. Feel dry needling is a quick way to relieve the worst locations. Dry needling is not comfortable. I recently took a break but have new appointments scheduled.

Yes but not for long term unless you can constantly keep doing dry needling also try a TENS unit sometimes that helps just now with the migraines kind of upset that more
